The ability to give a user admin rights is no big deal for myself
using adduser. However as mentioned in my previous ranting
the ability for the users added to accept the default user
attributes would be nice. True, we can specify that user cannot
change password, etc but having to go back in and manually
change an option like "User can not modify LDAP info" is sort
of a pain.
I am not complaining, just point this out. I we set default user
attributes in Imail Admin then we should not have to go back
and make those changes manually just because they were
added with adduser.exe. The web interface does pass on the
default user attributes however so that is what our office has been
using but it would be nice..
