@herculesnetwork - I’m with you :). I honestly feel that something as basic as allowing users to change the username should be a standard feature; for the sake of security, and for the sake of customization. Due to limitations (with most all control panels), that’s one reason I prefer to make heavy use of the CLI, Bash Scripting and custom commands/aliases over installing a control panel. The only time I’d personally use a CP is if it has the option to shut down when not in use (i.e. I can enable/disable from the CLI - use it while I need it to make life easier, then disable when I’m done so there’s no potential for abuse - thus blocking access completely).
I’ve actually been working on my own solution for a little while now. It’s far from complete, and it needs to be cleaned up, though once it’s in a state where I feel it can be easily used by others, and I’m confident that security isn’t an issue, I’ll be pushing the code to Github as an OS project.
started using control panels because of the signatures of emails, do not have conditions to do a thousand things to sign new face email account … and we panels just one click
