Try checking out the exec() function http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php
Should start out with 3 input boxes. USERNAME PASSWORD VERIFYPASSWORD IF ($_POST/GET[PASSWORD] == $_POST/GET[VERIFYPASSWORD]){ exec("/path/to/useradd -p $_POST/GET[PASSWORD] $_POST/GET[USERNAME]"); } The above is assuming you are executing exec() functions as a PRIVILEGED user. It also assumes that no one is able to view the processes taking place on the machine as the password will show up in clear text when ps'n (reporting process status). This also assumes you are not running IIS on a windows platform. The above is just an example (and a crappy one at that), I am not responsible for ANYTHING you do with this. These "assumptions" may help. Read below. _________________ MOST IMPORTANTLY ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ 1. READ POSTING RULES 2. hmm, it's in the posting rules. 3. http://us4.php.net/mailing-lists.php 4.
