rsync - May 2010 - rsyncd users/passwords in a database (mysql, postgresql)?

Is it possible to make rsync (in daemon mode) fetch the users from a 
database (mysql, postgresql), instead of storing them in plain text 
"secrets file"?

That is not currently possible, but would be fairly easy to add in
authenticate.c -- look for the get_secret() function.  If you change that to
do a DB connection and construct a query from the module and user values, it
could populate the "secret" buffer (using up to "len" bytes)
with any found
secret.
