Web application adding users to the local system == bad. If you've thought this through and you really want to have a webapp add users, I'd use LDAP as a user authentication method, and have your app add the users to the LDAP database. That way, you don't have to run any shell commands at all; you should be able to do everything you need right in Java. -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
