Yes, it does create new directories. Refer to svc_acct.pm, insert subroutine.
You may wish to change the ssh line to something that is more suitable for your
use.

There are a few things here. First, to show the packages, you should give the
agent permissions to access the package you want. I either under edit agents or
edit agent types. Second, packages with more than one service don't seem to
show up on this screen. I took a look at the source code to see if I could
change this, but it appears this may be complicated to change. I have the
people who use freeside just leave these section blank (I plan to remove it
from the screen) and add the account information after they complete this
screen.

I haven't got this far yet. I think the bill command (included with freeside)
may do this, but I don't know. I haven't even looked into it. Does anybody know
about this?????????

Repeat 3's answer.
