RE: [cobalt-users] Reseller / Affiliate programs (scripts)

["Carrie Bartkowiak" <admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This kinda runs along the same lines as the reseller question.
Things get hectic for me from time to time (when it rains it pours, all
other times it's a drought), and I'd like to be able to bring a friend on
board to help me set up new domains. However, she has no Unix experience and
I don't want her to be able to access the shell on the server.
Is there any way, either through the Cobalt GUI or, like Rafael said,
through a script, that will allow her to set up domains and the DNS for
those domains, but not have full control of the machine?  A sub-level admin
or something?

If we were to write something like this ourselves, what files would we need
to touch to get the new space made, the entry into the httpd.conf, and then
whatever with the DNS?  I've not come far enough yet to delve into what
actually happens past the GUI on the machine but I'm willing to learn.
I figure anything like that, though, would most likely be overwritten by the
Cobalt GUI the next time a site was added through it or a change was made...
you think?
