FUDforum shared sign-in with forum as 'slave' of Drupal user DB?

Hi there,

I played with the existing fudforum module and looked over the code. It's set up to treat the forum user DB as the "master" DB.

I'd like to integrate FUDforums as part of a larger site where Drupal is the front end for shared sign-in, just as has been implemented with Gallery2 and MediaWiki.

It seems that this should be fairly straightforward, combining a module_user hook and calls to code in FUDforum's scripts/fudapi.php and scripts/forum_login.php

If someone has already done this work, please let me know! If not, I'll work on it and will be back when I hit hurdles. :)

Thanks.

Maarten.
