First, please excuse any unintentional improprieties as this is my first posting to a FreeBSD mailing list. Second, I searched the archives of the various FreeBSD mailing lists and the closest answer came from this list, so I figured even though I am not part of an ISP this would be the best place (I have already tried the misc newsgroup). So without further ado here is my question: What would be a secure, yet practical way to allow a non-superuser account have the priviledge to unexpire/activate user accounts. Basically, I would like to be able to pre-setup accounts and have them created as either expired or de-active by default; and then have them be activated by someone else, yet not give any additional privs than necessary. Also, the idea is to make this as automated as possible. So how to create such a script that only one other user could run would be ideal. Thanks for any info on this matter. As I am not a subscriber as yet (still seeing if FreeBSD is the way to go for my situation), please send to me personally as well as to this list (if you believe this would be valuable for anyone else). Thanks much, Mark logos@csf.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
