If you do this, you might want to have your CGI script encode the
password given so no plain passwords will be stored. When the ten-minutely
script runs, it will place the appropiate line containing the username and
the already encoded password into the shadow password file (be aware to
use some kind of locking mechanism while editing the shadow file)
