Hey Brad,

Well, more or less. :)

nss-mysql is an NSS plugin. It retrieves information from a MySQL
database transparently via the UNIX API. That means that the application
(sendmail/qpopper) won't even know if it reads in a MySQL database. It
looks like it is what you need.

But you mentionned PAM in your message. If you're really looking for a
PAM module, nss-mysql is not for you.

HTH.
