And we do it the other way: Generate the users file from mysql. I rather
prefer it like that; then I can still auth users, if mysql goes down.
Also, it saved my a$$ once; mysql lacking commit and rollback.
I was disturbed into firing off an update command before having typed the
where-clause. I then locked the password of every user, instead of only
the users belonging to a single client...

Luckily, I dump the database every hour, and rcs it, so I can recreate
the database at any hourly version the last few months.
