How are you doing login authentication for phpgroupware?

I installed phpgroupware on an email server, and it appears that it
keeps it's own user/password database (in postgresql/mysql), and won't
use /etc/passwd. 

That's in addition to the /etc/passwd authentication used to connect 
to my IMAP server.  That's a pain since I don't want to add another
password into the mix for my users.

However, if you're using LDAP to authenticate, then phpgroupware claims
to support that.  That would be nice, but I'm not running a LDAP server.

I'm not against running an LDAP server (which is why I ask the question
about running one outside of a firewall), but it you know of some way
for phpgroupware to use /etc/passwd, that would get it running faster in
my current situation.
