Hello: Sorry if this is not the correct forum to post this, but I think it's on-charter. I want my POP3 and FTP users to authenticate via an SQL database (Postgress). Reasons: -I want to add/delete users in a transactional way. -Centralized management. -Protection in case of malconfiguration from users forwarding ports via ssh. My first move was to try to make my pop3d and ftpd (wu-ftpd, but I can change it if needed) to use a dbm. The idea was to recreate the dbm from scratch on each change of the SQL. I can handle the overhead. But a problem arise: If the user is not on /etc/passwd he can't have quotas (or am I wrong here?) and I need them. So I thought I could use PAM instead by fetching from somewhere (or writing) a PAM-SQL module. But the problem remains: is there a way I can make quotas and PAM work together? Any help/pointer will be very apretiatted? Thanks and regards. Fernando P.
