RE: [cobalt-users] Adding/Modifying/Deleting Users from shell or script

["Overall, Matthew (MDH UK)" <Matthew.Overall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have done this with PHP calling a perl wrapper to a shell script. The perl script runs as root and so does everything it needs to - is is outside the document root so kinda secure. I guess the Perl is also doing some 'Tainted' thing, but I know nothing about perl! Does anyone see any security issues with that?
