That is not currently possible, but would be fairly easy to add in authenticate.c -- look for the get_secret() function. If you change that to do a DB connection and construct a query from the module and user values, it could populate the "secret" buffer (using up to "len" bytes) with any found secret.
Still, if I understand correctly, I would need plain text passwords in the database?
I.e. I wouldn't be able to use a md5 / sha password from some other user auth system without changing rsync protocol?
