I was wondering about something. Does anyone know if it's possible to change the location of login information for a system to something like a MySQL or PostgreSQL database? I seem to recall it was possible to store login information (i.e. username, uid, gid, password, etc...) in either Kerberos or an LDAP system, but I've never seen if there's one that will store in a xSQL database. I wouldn't really be surprised if the answer was "no", but I don't really have any idea where to look. Perhaps my sol isn't strong enough, but when I search for things like "pgsql login linux" I get tons of articles on how to login to the pgsql binary, but not anything I saw on how to use pgsql to store the equivalent of the /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group, and /etc/gshadow files. I was hoping someone here would know whether or not it's possible, and if so where I can find a page that shows how it's done.
