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
MySQL database (the same database if you want). And since Pine and mutt on
the shell server are configured to use IMAP, shell users can login and
check email from there too.
Basically all of this has allowed us to move to an almost completely
virtual setup where ordinary users dont have any "real" system accounts at
all.
