There is a script lib/delete-users which doesn't seem to be called from anywhere. Not sure if this is because there are issues with it, or just never made it into the csuite-cron. > 2) I have created IPs, and the web directories appear within an hour, and > the IP editor account can install files to those directories.

When creating the IP, you are asked for the name of the main file. This file must exist in the IP directory for it to be shown in the IP list. If you say it will be called index.html and the IP editor uploads index.htm instead, the IP won't show up in the list. Perhaps a useful feature would be a cron job that mails somebody (like ip-admin) if there are IPs which are created, but don't have the file mentioned above. That way the people dealing with IPs will know to nag the IPE or change the name in the IP database. > 3) IP web directories have files that seem to be owned by the principle IP > editor and belong to a group with the IP number - 1001 for ip-1001, etc, > if I do a ls -l command from root.

Yes, regular accounts are added in to a new group named after each IP. There should be entries in /etc/group that look like the following: ip-1003:csuite:1003:ub172 ip-1004:csuite:1004:ua024,aa001 ip-1005:csuite:1005:aa001,iwhite,yh578 And those groups should be who owns the IP directories.
