    I've created a new script for rslight in $config_dir/scripts/account_manager.php

    $php ./account_manager.php
    -help: This help page
    -version: Display version
    -create: Create user account '-create username password email'
    -newpass: Change user password '-newpass username newpassword'
    -delete: Delete user account '-delete username'
    Be careful with this. You will not be asked to confirm
    Account files will be placed in a dir named 'deleted'

    This should make it easier for an admin to manage accounts. I know I
    find it a nuisance to need to change a user's password, create an
    account manually, etc., so this script should be quite helpful.

    Also, for this script, and maintenance.php, it is no longer necessary to
    switch to the $webdir/spoolnews dir. This is handled automatically. You
    still need to run as your web server user so files are created with
    correct permissions.

    I've added a few more tasks that can be handled with
    account_manager.php:

    $ php ./account_manager.php

    -help: This help page
    -version: Display version
    -create: Create user account '-create username password email'
    -newpass: Change user password '-newpass username newpassword'
    -newemail: Change user email '-newemail username emailaddress'
    Email address will remain listed as 'verified'
    Be sure to verify the address is correct
    -banuser: Disable ability for user to log in '-banuser username'
    This doesn't block the site, just posting and other user
    features
    -delete: Delete user account '-delete username'
    Be careful with this. You will not be asked to confirm
    Account files will be placed in a dir named 'deleted'
