Sorry, but I can only repeat what I wrote already about this:

"Sorry, but I fail to see how pam_script should install and configure
 LUM and Novell Client Single Sign-On. This is a step you are doing once
 as system administrator, not every time a user login."

The arcticles you mention don't have modify account local files, they
even don't mention them. And I fail to see, why this config files
needs to be modified every time.
The arcticles only mention system global files. You cannot modify
such files with PAM, neither pam_script nor pam_exec.

It seems at first you should clearly state and describe, what your
problem is. Your "solutions" at least have nothing to do with the
articles you mention.

And this has nothing to do with pam_script or pam_exec.
