It is more how to authenticae securely and then make a good firewall against abuse, limiting what can happen, to how many, how often. Once the message gets throught these architectural walls, you do what it asks whatever way is convenient for you, as speed/volume is not a concern, probably a script with adduser plus any additional goodies you want.

NAME
fwb_compile_all - Wrapper script that compiles policies for multiple firewall objects SYNOPSIS
fwb_compile_all -ffile.xml [-dwdir] [-av] [obj[ obj ...]] DESCRIPTION
fwb_compile_all is a wrapper script that compiles policies for several firewall objects in one batch job. This script takes a list of fire- wall object names on the command line (or '-a' command line option, see below) and calls policy compiler for each one. The script correctly determines which policy compiler is needed depending on the firewall platform of each object. OPTIONS
-a The script processes all firewall objects in the "/Firewalls" subtree. -d wdir Specify working directory. Compiler creates file with iptables script in this directory. If this parameter is missing, then ipta- bles script will be placed in the current working directory. -f FILE Specify the name of the data file to be processed. -v Script passes this option to the compiler, this makes it print diagnostic messages indicating its progress.
