Sorry for asking basically the same question again but I thought there was a
moduser script with the add and delete scripts in the shell-tools package?
If not does anyone know where I can get one? If need be I guess I could
write one up real quick but I didn't want to spend the time if one already
exists.  Also, this may not be the correct place to ask this, but other than
cron job, how would I get input from cgi as admin and run the add/del/mod
scripts as root? And if I can do this is this one HUGE security hole just
waiting to dump all my work?  Thanks again

Ryan
