It sound a only a little bit more what I have a s /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow,
/etc/groups and /etc/gshadow replacement...

I have exactly this too and it rund quiert well on a MiniITX with 1000MHz
and 1 GByte of memory which is 60% unused.  The Debian GNU/Linux 7.11
installation together with the postgresql database using less then
5 GByte...  Lets say, the whole thing would run an a 20 GByte HDD.

I manage currently 23.000 users with it...

And no, I do not use LDAP.

My webservices authenticate directly with the database server which is
hostet at a friendly ISP in Estonia.

> 2. Can we use Vm's to run the Db? Is it recommended ?

Yes of course.

> Thanks in Advance!
