There are always ways, .. but I would not consider recommending such
sophisticated solutions for the basic user level of this poster. Besides,
the purpose of a having a standard chroot is to restrict access to only
authorized web documents & functions - allowing a cgi to create (or even
access) a system user, by *ANY* mechanism, is a serious breach of that
security structure.

Hello,
I want to put a cgi-script on my OpenBSD server for shell account
creation. Basically that allows users to sign up accounts via the web.
I however know very little about cgi, I could probably write one if I
looked into it but I thought I would ask first, because it is highly
likely that someone has already created such a script.
You can't add a user via cgi with a normal OBSD installation, since
Apache is running chroot'd.
