Re: [cobalt-users] Siteadmin at Raq3

[Jeff Lasman <jblists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Khalid, for this major piece of the puzzle.  When I tested this, 
there were two problems left.  One I've solved:

Making the change to only the /etc/passwd file lets the user log into his 
new "home" directory.  But it does NOT let him actually ftp files.

To implement that fix you must also make a change to the /etc/group file, 
adding the username back to the "siteX" group (in my test case it was "site5".

Then there's only one problem left:  Since there are no admins, there 
aren't any users left who can look at site stats.  I presume there are 
other users who've implemented other packages.  Fathi; you've been working 
with Webalizer.  Will it work (and allow anyone to see the resulting stats) 
WITHOUT an admin user?
