Pre-PAM, it would have been done in login itself, I believe. That's where other things such as password expiration are checked. With PAM, it should go into the "account management" modules. Somebody has submitted such a module to me, and they're currently making some post-review revisions I requested. After that I will commit it. Note, it doesn't handle login time restrictions either -- it does only what login does now. However, once the module exists, we'll at least have a place to put the changes into.
