[gentoo-user] provide registration service on a headless server without web

Hello. I am running a server which currently unlike most other servers on
the world, do not provide web service yet.

Currently I need to allow users to register themselves. They first
through
a registration process get a username and password, get themselves their
home directories under /home and then they can use ssh to login to the
server to do a few things like search for addressbook.

I think of two ideas:

1) write a script that runs on telnet port. 
users can run telnet, talk to the script which will ask a few questions
like your fullname and username desired. If everything qualify, a user
is
created on the system.

2) write a web service that does the same.

1) is probably not save and 2) adds a little bit overhead and complecity
of the system by adding a web service.

Is there a standard registration routine I can use? That we I don't have
to write my own script, which could be a security risk.

Thanks!
