    Are you sure that’s an outdated plugin? The author’s support page has feedback from him as recent as 2 weeks ago. Granted, it says it’s compatible with “WordPress 3.0x multisite”, but I’m running plenty of plugins that don’t advertise 3.1.x compatibility on 3.1.2. And for that matter, the compatibility checker has 2 votes for 3.1.
    Might be worth giving it a shot.

    Cpanel is set up for *. wildcard sub domains.

    Because of the wildcard subdomain setting, you will never see a DNS/cpanel entry for a new WordPress subdomain. This is a good thing.

    What happens when you try to load one of the subdomains that you created? Does your browser give you an error, or does it load a WordPress error?

    Andrea – I missed your comment before. I do have one of those plugins, but the problem is that I need a non-Super Admin to approve user registrations. If this isn’t possible in a secure way with WordPress (which very well might be the case), I’m envisioning a plugin that has “user accounts”, but they are only used for the file downloads. These accounts wouldn’t really log in to anything beyond authenticating the download, and would be completely separate from WordPress users, thus obviating any security issues. Of course, this approach could open a whole new can of worms, so I’m hesitant to go down that path.

    Site administrators should be able to manage users for their own sites as-is. They can add/edit users.

    That was my understanding, but this doesn’t seem to be the case. If I log into a site as a user in the Administrator role, I do have an “Add New” option under the Users menu. Rather than allow a new user to be added, however, it takes you to a form that is really nothing more than an invite to current multisite network users. There does not seem to be any way for a site administrator to add a user that is completely new to the network.
