I'm using Drupal 5.11 and would like to automate a few tasks when a new user signs up.

User signs up as "newuser" at www.example.com

1. I'd like to automatically create http://www.example.com/newuser
2. I'd like for permissions to automatically be set to allow the admin read/write access and the user read only access with no other users able to view the page.

I was looking through modules and did not see one or a combination of modules that would enable this functionality. Am I missing something? Is this fairly easy to create? Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

automatic creation of the path /newuser can be done with the pathauto.module

one of the permissions modules in teh downloads area may help with the second request. I highly suggest testing them on a test site rather than on a production site so that you can figure out which one best suits your needs.

I will try this when I get home. This is on a staging site that is not production yet. I've used pathauto before (for SEO purposes) but never for what I'm proposing. This will be a great learning experience for me.

Basically users will request content and when I provide that content for them, I want there to be a page they are already familiar with (i.e. user page) where I can drop the content and have only them be able to view it.

THANKS !!!
