No (unless you write your own authentication module, or some glue in
authpipe)

That would be scary. Many Unix systems have a maximum of 8 or 16 characters
in a username.

It would be better, in my opinion, just to use authuserdb. There is a tool
provided which converts /etc/passwd into userdb format. You then just tweak
the userdb entries in whatever way you want (such as adding domains to the
username), run makeuserdb, and hey presto.

Of course you can use authmysql or whatever as has been suggested, but
that's a much more heavyweight setup. If you are happy with /etc/passwd as
an authentication source, then I guess you'll be equally happy with
/etc/userdb

Brian.
