The next two postings are the code which I promised a few days ago I would post. There are two utilities. chpasswd allows you to change a group of passwords using a data file as input. It is really just a silly little example to how to use a collection of password file routines I wrote. newusers is much more amusing and allows you to create a collection of users using something like a password file as input. It allocates the user and group IDs and does other interesting stuff. Neither is well documented, in keeping with the USENET tradition of providing lots of code and little documentation. I'm going to ask that this code not be archived since I intend to post this code on a semi-regular basis until the kinks are all worked out. I'd rather not have any confusion about what is the current version. -- John F.
