I want users to be able to authenticate and then be able to: a. change passwords b. turn off/on vacation via /usr/local/bin/vacation c. turn off/on spam filtering via adding/removing a pre-written .mailfilter file into/out of the user's home directory Is this possible via the User directories usage description above or is there another way or no way using Apache?No, this is not a good usage of suexec. You would need to put cgi scripts in each users home directory to make it work. You should look into sudo, but be very careful. Allowing access to regular accounts over the web is a good way to compromise your server.Joshua.
