Hello,
I have a problem here. I want to add a new Unix account user by calling adduser via exec. I also want to create a folder for each new user. Is it possible for me to do this from a webpage that I created using tcl (or .adp)?
Hope somebody can help me here. Thanx in advance.

 
As long as your script has the permissions necessary to create the folder, you can do so with Tcl's file mkdir command. You might also want to read on the Tcl'ers Wiki ( the page on the file commands: - Ken Jones, President

It seems that my script doesn't have access to add new users in Linux. How do i give permission so that my script can addnew users to the system?

Thanx again
 
Reading this again, as this is an OLD post, I think that
everything you want to do can be accomplished very easily
by using one of the tcl cgi_libraries, cgi.tcl from nist
(author D.Libes) is probably the best.
It should be trivial to create a form with plaintext auth
functionality and run the cgi as root.
Dangerous, but trivial. :)
