We avoid sys users like the plague here. For hosting and such we 
store the user in PostGres. Onec that is done Radiator can access 
them and ProFTP can access them and CHROOT them into their home dirs. 
YOu could also get Apache to auth against the PostGres database and 
mailservers is not a prob either.
