Is it possible to give them accounts that have no permission to do anything? I used to change the shell to /usr/local/bin/terminated, which printed a message about the account being closed.
In this case that would be close to a hundred thousand accounts linked to /bin/noshellforyou for the 3200 that are cla+1. In the past that was a great way to DOS a machine.. just have a sshbot go by and get a bunch of nologins and the amount of cpu for login search/setup/deny was enough to DOS a box
The only solution I have seen in practice is having the ssh banner set, but everywhere I worked at previously was legally required to have messages in banners so my world view is biased.
