Thanks Of course: use sudo to give your apache process rights to run useradd (or a setuid useradd executable only by your apache process). But this is not very secure. A better way might be to have your php script create a file of requested accounts and have a cron script batch process them, so your script (which cannot be accessed by the web server) can do some careful scrutinizing of the account requests before granting one.
