Subj : Sysop to create new user

I am looking to possible create a private BBS.  One thing I want to do, is not
allow people to create an account.  Rather, they would apply by other means
(e-mail), and a sysop would create the account and send them the login details.

This can be done with Synchronet, as you can disable the creation of new
accounts, but there is still a tool that one can use to create an account.

Is there a way for a sysop to create a new Mystic BBS account?  Once you
disable the ability to create a new user, there seems to be no other way to
create a user, not with the user editor either.

The only other option, would be to edit the user database file directly.  If
one knows the binary format, is this possible with a custom tool (I can create
that).

Thanks,
Dennis Katsonis
