David-
I modified the passgen script as you requested so that it will create IDs of the
form
dtrask <-- for user David Trask
dotrask <-- for user Donald Trask
It's 153 lines (only three more than the original). I could post it here (not
sure if that's good list etiquette or not) or email it to you directly. Let me
know how you want it.
