Thanks for that advice. I can see that I could end up with a very large users file using this method. Is there any limit on the size of the users file?

Memory. Also, the CPU time required to walk it's internal representation (linked list).

In the near future we may have something like 800000 entries in there. Is this where you would normally look to use a database backend?

Yes. Or, if the mappings are relatively simple, you could look at rlm_passwd, which does simple mappins. It uses a hash to look up data, so it should be fast. Alan DeKok.
