Hi Gary,
Before you start, please see if you cannot use (or extend) the "SQL Authentication" module - http://drupal.org/node/50946
Best regards.

I've just reviewed Bèr Kessels' sql_auth.module, and it looks like it can handle many use cases of authentication from external sources. Thanks for pointing it out. It would still be nice to be able to specify the hash algorithm used in Drupal's own users table, perhaps even in a manner similar to how Bèr allows it for external tables in this module. One of the biggest challenges, it seems, is simply learning what is available out there and what the capabilities and limitations are for all those contrib modules. There's just so many of them, it's tough to be familiar with them all. This is a good problem to have, one might say. ..chrisxj
