Wouoldn't it just be easier to have an additional field in the mysql table
for allow / deny and set your query correctly?

Hmm.
- if you're using PAM, you can use pam_listfile to get
this behaviour;
- if you're using a database, you can add a clause to
the SELECT statement to prevent certain users from
logging in;
- if you're using auth-perl or auth-other, you can
change your code to implement such lists.
So that leaves auth-flatfile and auth-passwd.
I'm not sure how much demand there would be for something
like this.
