Of course, if you're being this paranoid, you should probably be using disk quotas anyway, which ameliorate most of the problems associated with sharing system and user data. One tip (which I haven't tried, so can't comment on its effectiveness), is to make the soft limit something small, and the hard limit something large, then rely on the grace period to ensure that anyone who does play with big files gets rid of them quickly. For /tmp and /var/tmp, a 24 hour grace period would probably be reasonable. Only if you're being fascist, of course.
