Re: [PHP3] Online signup page???? From: Andrew Chen (achen <email protected>)

What you could try doing is if Apache is started on it's own account
(apache) then you could add a sudo entry and then call system to call
passwd. It's kind of annoying that you have to do this, but probably it's
the most secure way without actually going through each entry by hand.
It's still kind of a security risk though, since if someone achieved
apache or someone hacked the access stuff on the webpage, they could
arbitrarily create a user for themselves and it wouldn't really seem
abnormal.
