Hmmm... what about SQL user auth module, user filesystem, and creating web accounts into a mysql table? You can authenticate your web, ftp, pop3 servers from it, and with a few lines of RXML/Pike the user can change his password from a browser via https. I think this can be very well automated. If you want a virtualhost per user, even a siple shell/perl script can fill a server template (or Pike script if you'd better like creating users from a web interface :)) (or I'm misunderstanding what you mean as 'web account'..) greetings endre -- ..all in all it's just another rule in the firewall. /Ping Flood/
