Hello! I'm going to implement a large mail-box, with several hundreds of mail-only users. They should never access anything besides their POP3 mailboxes and change password via (SSLed) web interface. So, I don't want to add all of them to /etc/passwd. I have a hack that requires to change libc to make getpwent access not only /etc/master.passwd, but also some mySQL database, but it is hard-to-rebuild and overall dirty hack. Do not ask me to RTFM on PAM, for PAM does not allow me to add users not mentioned in passwd. As far as I understand, LDAP is rather bulky and suited to X.500 integration, and that is not what I want. Any suggestions, anyone? Alex.
