Why does this module does not use "libnss", which does the job for /etc/passwd. I think, authpam should use libnss.

Any developer comments?

Adding "libnss" will solv all problems, because I am using "libnss-pgsql". And because "courier" does not support it, I need to sync several times daily 86 Mailservers manualy with this stupid /etc/passwd.

So write a module for libnss. All the docs are there. Authcustom is a skeleton example of how an authentication module should work. Authpipe can use other programs to get the data. It shouldn't be hard. But if you really have 86 mail servers (why do you have 86 mail servers?), you should be using something like LDAP or SQL for your user's backend.
