Are their any plans to add a web-GUI for adding new (local) users
and allowing users to reset their own passwords?<br>

I guess I should think about writing one at some point. It should be
fairly easy to add your own if you want to.<br>

I have a small number of employees at my company that actually
need accounts so I'm using local accounts but it would be nice for
them to be able to reset their passwords after I give them a
generic one to start with.<br>

If you've got AD in your organisation then you can just create a
little tree branch that just contains the users you want to be able
to login, and then just do it all with AD. Far less admin overhead
that way.<br>

Adding users manually via the terminal isn't difficult but a GUI
would be easier and also not keep the command in the bash history
with the password in clear text (just in case).</blockquote>
"history -c" will wipe your command-line history.<br>

If part or none of this is in the works then I can try to write
some of this myself. If so, how would I submit patches back to the
dev(s)?<br>
