You know, I was sitting here thinking to myself about the soon to come conversion to SQL databases for all of our auth (POP3 and RADIUS).. 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.
