Hi David,
Hi Denis
you can create the user as shown in the exim example. The Admins can
login with their normal users (or as root) and can "su" to the user:
su - yourusername --shell=/bin/bash
see, that's the thing : the Admins of the application set up by this
package don't have an account of their own, and
can't access the root account either, only the sysadmins can. They log
in from semi-public Windows machines using
this one specific account, of which only the authorized people know the
password (doesn't sound very secure, you say ?).
Regarding the SQL-Stuff. Just ask the user for the MySQL-Root-Password
(and maybe the database name, and what to do if it already exists). I
have no idea how to manage that, but it's possible and you can take a
look at the phpmyadmin-Package how it works.
yes, I thought about that. But part of the problem is that the package
I'm creating will be installed by different people
in different branches of the company. Some of them will be tech-savvy,
some won't. I want them to be able to install
the package even if they don't know the MySQL root password. I know this
sounds weird, but there you go.
