Yes, in general I have found lots of howtos and docs.

But is there the possibility to configure each service that way, that at the end I can have one user/passwd which can be checked against all of the services? So I want to create a new user which is then present for all services; instead of creating this user for ftp, create the same user as mailuser, create him as ssh-user and so on. In fact, this must be possible! But I don't really know how to combine this one user with each of the services.
