PLEASE tell me your aware that the "useradd" command will add a unix user, not just for mail - but for access to the machine itself over a terminal (SSH / Telnet / whatever else you may have left open)... and should the script your trying to make ever be exploited, that the hacker could then very easily create a user account on your system and then just walk straight in?? Given your current attitude (and awareness) of security, I doubt that it would take long for your machine to be anhilated. -- Dan Hardiker [dhardiker@staff.firstcreative.net] ADAM Software & Systems Engineer First Creative Ltd
