The members of this list, by definition, know everything there is to know
about FreeBSD, since they're the people who built it.

Oh yeah, that'd be important.
Alex, I suggest that if you think you need to modify libc to do this, you
probably have not thought about it enough. I've been watching this thread
for several days now, and wondering why it isn't sinking in that a PAM
module to access the MySQL database would do what you are asking for
without modifying libc. That's why PAM was added.
