Newbie cPanel Questions

1) For your first question, it's my understanding that it's part of the new feature manager in cpanel 7, you need to use a skin which supports this new feature manager and version 7 of cpanel itself

2) by default cpanel has its own format for creating databases and logins, but that's on-demand
accountname_username
accountname_databasename
the security architecture is built around this convention, it might be harder to convert to your way than you think, as for creating them automatically, the database itself is just a directory, why waste space, let your users choose their own usernames(not to mention limiting each user to one database might be problematic on some cases) and having a triplet
accountname_databasename_username might be unreasonably long in many cases. If you really want something like this, you might need to script it yourself, or hire a coder.

3) admin email? webmaster is a convention covered by a best practice document from the ietf, you might want to alias it to admin instead

4) public_ftp is used by anonymous ftp, you might want to remove it from your "skeleton" directories (/etc/skel and /root/cpanel3-skel) so it doesn't appear anymore

5) ssh itself is not a problem per se, but letting users run arbitrary commands without in-depth knowledge of those commands and their security issues is not recommended. Subscribe to security focus and other mailing lists, ruminate for 6 months, then consider you might know enough to know if it's safe... Only you may know what your clients might do
