i'm happy to hear that we are not the only ones working on this.

where can i get this script and does it fit into the sarge version ?

our idea ist to generate e.g. 20 clean accounts with home-dirs before the 
exam.
how else do you want to avoid that students put cheating-papers in their 
$HOME ?

we are thinking of giving every exam-student a different $TMP variable,
so they can not read the other student's /tmp/*

and we also try to use "snare" from intersectalliance.com (it's GPLd)
to log and monitor system calls like "open a file" or "open a port"
