Definitely do *NOT* make them users on your OS. That's far to much power to
give to some random surfer who may be malicious.
You should also probably not add them as MySQL users -- Far better off to
have a table in your own database for "members".
The code archives probably have "membership" setups. This page links to
several code archives.
