Web-based adduser ideas

Hi.

I'm trying to setup a process for account creation through a web-accessible
script. The accounts will all be shell-less with chrooted FTP accounts and
public_html personal web directories. The only person with shell access to
the server is root (me).

I've run into a couple of problems including Apache's unwillingness to run
any cgi programs with setuid root.

Has anyone been though this before? Any ideas? Security tips?

Thanks!

ian
