synchronize sendemail / cyrus / ftp / ssh password

Hello,

i'm running a server for several customers using cyrus/IMAP, sendmail, apache2 and ssh.

I'm looking for a way to store all the passwords for them in _one_ database so i can manage them easily by a web interface.

My solution was to store the passwords in a MySQL table. Now the problem is that cyrus and sendmail use sasldb for authentication, but ssh uses PAM.

This is rather unsatisfying because libpam_mysql, libsasl2_modules_sql and mod_auth_mysql (apache) all have quite different approaches / ideologies.

I had to store the passwords in plaintext because of the sasl interface, but the new mod_auth_mysql will allow encrypted passwords only... that's only one of the issues.

Maybe somebody is using a similar configuration? How do big hosting sites manage their passwords?

Till
