I'd like to avoid putting users in the system users/password file all together.. That's possible as far as POP3 and RADIUS go (use IDS-POP3d, PAM RADIUS module with RADIUS reading out of a MySQL database).. Then we run into mail.. There really isn't anyway to avoid putting users into the system user/password file when it comes to a MTA. Or is there? I'd really like to avoid a really "hacked" way of doing this if it is even possible.. And the solution would have to handle a fairly large number of users, for arguments sake lets say 10,000 users. Would anyone have any ideas? -Mitch "When all your plans fail, backup, re-group and press on.
