How can users create their own accounts?
- As far as I understood from the readmes about dbman, people with admin permission can add new users to database. I try to make a yellow pages kind of database and for this I have to log on as admin and create new usernames and then email the username/password to each member and then they edit their own records. How can I make a "sign-up!" kind of thing, so people choose their own username/pass (with guest permission of course) and then edit their info?

- If there is a solution for this, how can I make a "I forgot my password!" kind of service, so their password will be emailed to them?

In your default.cfg, there's a line:
$auth_signup = 0;

This needs to be set to "1" and other options below it also need to be coustomised.

Absolutely, in the "Resources" section for DBMan, you will find a Modification called "Secure password lookup"

If this is your first time using DBMan, I highly recommend reading over JPDeni's excellent tutorials at: http://www.jpdeni.com/dbman/

Good luck!
