RE: [cobalt-users] Siteadmin at Raq3

["Dan" <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Then I guess the conclusion to draw is to either change the RAQ setup so
nobody but the Admin can create users, or don't host on any Unix server that
lets users add user names for virtual sites. Maybe someone will write a
script that adds only random letters for user names and then anyone can
create an alias under that.
