Yeah I know my script don't care at all about security. I'm keeping it fot the sake of simplicity. After making it 'work', I will take a look seriously about security. So, why it not create user for me? thanks and regards

I'm not that familiar with sudo, but I suspect it may have to do with the fact apache is a user without a shell. look in the sudo log file. If you don't see anything, look in /var/log/secure and /var/log/messages and /var/log/httpd/error_log If you don't see the problem, log into a root shell. Then run su apache to become the apache user and try the command and see what happens. Really though, this isn't a job for sudo. It's a job for a suid root shell script (I'd suggest perl or python or maybe tcl/expect).
