Hello all,

Thanks for the pointers on ssl.

In my research I came across this:

[Dbmail] dbMail with Radius Server
http://mailman.fastxs.net/pipermail/dbmail/2004-September/005460.html

"Here is what we have for using dbmail users for freeradius.  You will have to
do some work though.  We had to add the radius specific tables to the dbmail
database, and add the radius specific columns to the users table."

As I sit here thinking of a strategy to connect OpenLDAP or FreeRadius to an SQL database and then provide authentication for various daemons, I realized that dbmail is the only non-db daemon I am considering that natively uses a database for users. (MySQL does, Cyrus IMAP can.)

Does anyone else have pointers/How-To's/war-stories about sharing other user databases with dbmail's? Specifically:

MySQL's user db. (No pressing need to in my case)
Zope's eXternalUserFolder/*SQL
LDAP
FreeRadius (as above)

Has anyone encountered situations where the common data formatting is incompatible between daemons? (case, case sensitivity etc.)

Many thanks,

Michael.
