I have an work in progress here:
http://samba.org/~idra/pubdir/pam_last_cache-0.2.tar.gz

I have some plans to extend it further to keep some more info but time
is low for me, if you want to help out, you're wellcome.

This module is targeted mainly toward ldap/winbind mobile users that
need to access their own data even when out of the office while keeping
a central point of authentication while in place at their office.

Simo.
