in reply to Running Commands From Web

Your description seems a little vague to me. Howerver, if you are tying to addusers via a web interface perhaps Webmin is what you need.

    i need to be able to run the command 'adduser .....' from a perl script with only webd permissions.
    I know of Webmin, and would like to know how that goes about adding users to a unix box from the web
      The source code is available for Webmin. If you want to know how it works I suggest you look there.

    You should use the webmin user / groups editor module. It is easy to use and safer as you are dealing with root permissions.
