[freeside] exporting shell ???

[Kristian Hoffmann]

You can set the password with the shellcommands export.  It just doesn't
do it by default. Adding "-p $_password" to the useradd command in the
export you defined ought to do the trick.

>From looking at the code, it looks like for the modify event, all the old
fields are mapped as $old_fieldname, and new fields, $new_fieldname.  So
for example, $old_username would be the old username and $new_username
would be the new username.

Ivan, does that make the new and old password $new__password and
$old__password?
