Good.

Sounds like they all should be using the sql backend then, but I could very
well be wrong about that.

You want to use an existing sql backend for this.  If your other passwd
update isn't via sql, then you want to use a composite driver that invokes
both for you.  I really can't remember if we ever implemented a composite
driver in passwd, but I think we did at least in CVS HEAD...

See above.
