I have a Perl script that will create the user, website and update apache. 
(Runs from the command line.) (I use it to add virtual hosts at the ISP where 
I work.) You have to be there to enter the password so it's not totally 
automatic. (It's not a problem for me since I have to enter their password 
sometime. :-) However, I use 'pw' to add the user so pw(8) my give you some 
clues on how to automate the password entry if you need to.)

Contact me off the list if you (or anyone else reading this) wants a copy.

I'm not sure what you need here. Do you want to password protect the sites or 
the script?
