ssh & control groups

Hi List,

I am looking for an option for sshd to start user's shell (when logging in interactively to a remote host) in a control group via cgexec - 
so for example:

/bin/cgexec -g <username> /bin/bash

This would be extremely handy on linux Terminal servers to control users access to the system resources (protect system from a malicious 
user hogging the machine by running cpu/memory intensive applications).

Is something like that possible to achieve?
Thanks,

Ondrej
