The problem is that you said that AUTHORIZED is set automatically when  
userdb checkpassword script is called. So the script doesn't have to  
set it manually. That makes the script automatically work as userdb  
script (because AUTHORIZED is set automatically) and as passdb script  
(because AUTHORIZED isn't set automatically). That kind of breaks the  
idea.
