Nice one, I'll have a read of man chflags, could be the command I need
to run on a few items when creating user's home dirs (I'm also trying to
stop user's from being able to modify their .history files if anyone can
point me in right direction).

What I have so far is this (perl script):
sub createUser{
	# $user is passed in to this func:
	my $user=shift;

	my $pw_cmd="$pw adduser -n $user -m";

	#exec cmd (password is returned, but this depends on
	#pw.conf(5) 'defaultpasswd' setting:
	my $pass=&doCmd($pw_cmd); # doCmd just execs the command passed to it
	# is this safe to get at password this way?
	chomp($pass); 
	# chown the logs dir as well to stop users from
	# deleting it:
	my $cmd="chown www /home/$user/logs && chmod 755 /home/$user/logs";
	&doCmd($cmd);
	
	return($pass);
}

Any hints/tips would be much appreciated (or any full blown scripts I
could take a look at:).

Cheers again,
Jez
