Our shell server and web servers are separate from our mail server but |

there's no reason you couldn't run this setup on the same server. |

Using libnss-mysql, you can have ssh and ftp also authenticate out of a |
| 11 |
MySQL database (the same database if you want). And since Pine and mutt on |
| 12 |
the shell server are configured to use IMAP, shell users can login and |
| 13 |
check email from there too. |

Basically all of this has allowed us to move to an almost completely |
| 16 |
virtual setup where ordinary users dont have any "real" system accounts at |
| 17 |
all. |
