administration


adding users

  1. create a new user account:
sudo adduser newusername

use the default password tilde

  1. respond to their email with their account information

  2. click the link in the signup email from the server to open the domain control panel and add their forwarding address if they've opted in

  3. profit??

account creation is something that i would like to look into. maybe this can be an admin portal (similar to ~town) that would notify admins when a new signup arrives and prompt them to go to the web interface to approve/deny/respond to the account request.
