Unfortunately, one must be root to enable Log{in,out}Hooks.  If you can get
root to cooperate and set up Log{in,out}Hooks that call users' individual
scripts, then individual users can have Log{in,out}Hooks do various
user-specific things.  So a sample LoginHook might be:

#!/bin/sh

if [ -f /Users/$1/.loginHook ]; then
	. /Users/$1/.loginHook
elif [ "$1" = "root" -a -f /.loginHook ]; then
	. /.loginHook
fi

However, others have warned of certain security risks involved with
Log{in,out}Hooks (they are run as root, I guess), so use with caution.
