We are setting up ServU with Emerald, but are not planning to create =
directories for every user by default. Is there a way to alter the =
action of the "directory" field in a new service so that if it's left =
blank it does NOT create a directory, thus only creating a directory if =
its filled in? I think the easiest way to handle this would be =
like the "shell" field, where a Capitalized Login fills in the field =
automatically.

I raise this because we are migrating from a Unix based personal =
webserver that was creating directories automatically. Even with only =
1000 accounts on the old machine it would literally take days to sort =
through each to find the active ones (maybe 10%, if even that). This is =
more for future planning, so that this wouldnt be the case and only =
directories that are active would be created.

Any info on how to selectively craete the directories would help, as it =
beats the alternative of manually getting them in thru ServU
