Ok.  I have looked at all my options for creating account dynamically
from a webpage, and have not come up with much.  I want to create an
user account that only creates a mail account.  I think I can do this
with the useradd command (I am running Linux).   Like this:

   useradd accountname -s /bin/false   then I could su into the
accountname and run the passwd command.

Now I could do this, with PHP using the popen() function.  There is only
1 problem.  I would have to run all this as root since only root is able
to run this command.   And even if I could it would be a big no no to
somehow make PHP become root and then run this command.  Any other
suggestions on how to create an account dynamically with PHP or how to
modify what I about the useradd command to get this to work?  Thanks
