[cobalt-developers] Adding users programmatically

[DZ-Jay <dz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello:
	I'm sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it in the 
archives.  My problem is this:
Our ISP recently installed a Cobalt Raq3 and have been adding new email 
accounts manually (through the SiteAdmin web interface).  We have an online 
subscription form that adds accounts automatically to our database and 
sends requests to another program that opens the mail accounts by running 
remote shells scripts (rsh) in our old mail server everytime it receives a 
request.

The Raq3 will substitute the old mail server eventually, so I need to find 
a way to add new accounts in the Raq3 by way of shell scripts (or similar 
technique) so that our online subscription system can send requests to the 
program that opens the accounts, and this program in turn can open the 
accounts in the cobalt server.

Is there any "safe" way to open email accounts in the Raq3 from a command 
shell instead of using the SiteAdmin web interface?  I mean "safe" because 
we do not want to install any extraneous software or tamper with any 
important files that might void our warranty from Cobalt.

	TIA,
	dZ.
