Sounds like a lot of work.

Please help I don't know much about Postfix so I can't say if some kind of SQL database system would magically solve all your problems, but from reading a little on postfix.org it seems that it wouldn't. All right, virtual_uid_maps and virtual_gid_maps have the information about uid (and hence supplementary groups) and gid that are needed by a checkpassword implementation. The virtual_mailbox_maps file has the working directory. Assuming there's an easy way to query these postfix configuration directives and databases (virtual_mailbox_base, virtual_mailbox_maps, virtual_uid_maps and virtual_gid_maps) it doesn't look like a lot of work to add this compatibility into bchkpw. (Or make pchkpw.) However, I find practically zero information about integrating other software with Postfix on www.postfix.org, so finding how to actually do the table lookups will require some effort. If you can help by finding out how to do this, that would be great. //Peter
