Module development and code questions

How to override function user_register($edit = array()) in user.module? That it will not be necessary to change user.module.
Is there somethink like this?

function phptemplate_user_register($edit = array()) {
return _phptemplate_user_register('user_register', array('edit'=>$edit) );
}

But for module functions?

Thank You

I have a totally weird problem which I have described here, but which might be more appropriate under module development.
I get an occasional error calling drupal-set-html_head on the grounds that it does not exist!

Right now I am mystified and would appreciate any help that anyone could give in sorting it out - just pointers in the right direction, or indeed in any direction at all, would be nice. 'Cos as it is, I'm stumped.

Hi all,

I was wondering if there was any function in the API to create roles whenever a module is in use? I'd like to be able to programmatically change the access rights given to a specific user through a customized interface, instead of forcing the administrator to use the drupal interface to do so.

I received this by e-mail on June 9:

we are pleased to inform you that your CVS account request has been approved. It will be activated shortly.

It has now been almost four days and when I try to do a CVS checkout I get this message:

PAM authenticate error: User not known to the underlying authentication module
cvs.exe [checkout aborted]: authorization failed: server cvs.drupal.org rejected access to /cvs/drupal-contrib for user larssg

Did something go wrong or am I being impatient?

hi everybody,

my users have to authenticate via kerberos-pam on my server,
with webserver_auth they authentication in one step through to there drupal account...that works..great..now!

The Problem is, that first at all i have to create the first account on my new installed drupal forum, that is the "admin account" in my case
login: admin
pwd: adminpassword
