Would certainly be easiest if your users already have Linux accounts
on your network.   Then you can just grep their usernames out of the
password file and put it into the htpasswd used by BackupPC.   Run
that in a cron job on a nightly basis or even several times a day if
you want, so as to always have their latest passwords.   It's a very
simple script with grep and awk.

You'll also have to manage the BackupPC hosts file as per the docs.

If your users do not already have Linux accounts then it's not so easy.
