Yes, I did, but was still confused by the answers. That was why I reposted
with the specifics in, what I hoped, was clearer descriptive language.
After posting, I continued with some intensive searching. I think I
understand now, but would like some verification.
1 - Create the account with an adduser command. (The php would be either a
system() or exec() command to run that command.) It has to be in the passwd
account, but doesn't need to have a shell script.
2 - Have the adduser -D so that would limit these users. This would be done
one time by the root account at the box itself.
3 - Also, have the shell script for the accounts set to /bin/false. This
could also be done from php spawning a system() or exec(0 command.
Did I finally get it straight?
