There is also my xlogin program available on expo.lcs.mit.edu:contrib.
It has also been posted in comp.sources.x, Volume 08 Issue 51.

It's typically started in xdm's Xstartup and it handles quotas, lastlogin,
utmp, wtmp, /etc/motd, /etc/nologin and $HOME/.hushlogin

However, there is a little bug in it, which I haven't already fixed (i.e.
sent out a patch for). You have to add the line

	exit(!do_login);

as the last statement in xlogin.c:main().
Otherwise the exit-code is 1, if a user has a $HOME/.hushlogin file and that
is interpreted as "deny login".

If you can't get it on either place, drop me a note and I'd be glad to send
you a copy by mail!
