I'd like your opinions/thoughts/comments/suggestion on the following setup:
I have an new AlphaServer 1000A running DU4.0B. I am setting it up so that
users can apply for accounts using a web form. After validating their
information, useradd/pass/edquota records are appended to a file. (Pass
sets the password.) The file will be run at scheduled times via cron
(perhaps every 4 hours). Do you see any gotchas in this setup? I did
create a rudimentary lock file on the file so that the web form and the
cron job are not using it at the same time.
