Ok. So I need to be able to setup a general account that users will login in with. This account will run a script that, basically, creates a user account for them on the machine. I know this isnt a very clean way of doing this, but bear with me. <br />
So my question is, how can I setup permissions for this general account to be able to to run the useradd command without giving the account same access as ROOT? What would be the best way of doing this? Thanks much.

Regular user to run useradd?

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
