The idea should be extendible (Early morning, no coffee :), ProFTPD do have
some SQL hooks I'm told, since home_dir is included, I don't see any
difficulties (in theory :) as why some FTP daemon shouldn't be able to hook
up as well.
So to answer your question, yes this should negate /etc/passwd or
equivalent.
I'd prefer to have it all in PAM (Correct me if I've misunderstood what you
use PAM for :), since then all that was needed was a PAM module and PAM
Enabled daemons, and the rest should sort itself out.
