I beleive that i read somewhere that you do not have to use
the /etc/passwd files for users that you can use a user database
..in fact there was something abotu that at slashdot.org a while
ago.. where someone had a system that they were going to
potentially have 1000 users or something like that and it was
suggested that they use a user database.. I do not remeber all
the details.. however this Linux ~= UNIX and I do believe that a
user database is do able in any UNIX. There should be lots of
documentation on how to implement a system like that....
