I've used pam-mysql with redhat linux and am very pleased with
it. I love being able to authenticate to a db.

 Is there a system out there which can take over from the normal (unix

 off /etc/master.passwd and instead using a MySQL database for auth.

If FreeBSD has PAM support, one could write a PAM module to authenticate
against MySQL.

Believe it or not, someone already has:

 It sounds like a bit of a pipe dream but I figured i'd ask here because I
 havent been able to find anything on this.

 Thanks
