Does XUF use PAS? The Plone developers told me that Gruf is terrible
and will make a lot of problems (breaking between releases).

XUF predates PAS, so the answer is no.

Would you be willing to work on the SQL auth plugin? For me it's very
difficult to dig through the Plone source and find which interfaces to
export (there are about six interfaces for a simple auth plugin!!!)
and I could need your help, here.
The Zope authentication mechanism is notoriously poorly documented! But it
is very fine-grained. I have worked with XUF and hacked it so I am
familiar with it and the mailing list is active so this would be my
suggestion. Furthermore, as the developer of XUF also wrote the ZopeTrac
plugin he's familiar with both systems. Unfortunately I haven't managed to
get Trac running on my machine so I have difficult with a development
environment. If I can get Trac running here then I'm happy to help.

 Okay, but we'd still need a nice SQL backend which can be interfaced
from within Trac. I could do the Trac part, so you actually don't need
to setup Trac. All I want is Plone to store its user and properties
data into an SQL DB, so I can modify DbAuth to pull its data from that
DB.

I need a list of the properties to be stored for the schema. Are you intending to use SQLite for Trac or can we use PostgreSQL?
