Hi all,
I could use a little help. I've found the passgen file located at
http://www.lfsp.org More specifically the file can be downloaded here
http://www.lfsp.org/passgen.gz It's a simple file that for the most part
replaces "createusers". It's really slick as it generates usernames and
passwords from a text file and finds and alters duplicates. My problem is
that it does not go with my naming scheme. I use the typical firstinitial
lastname scheme. I know virtually nothing about scripting and hence I don
not understand a lot of what is in this script. I'm trying to change it
so it will always start with at least the firstintial Lastname and if a
duplicate is found go to the next letter of the
firstname......example....if I had David Trask and Donald Trask.....the
first would be dtrask and the second would be dotrask and so forth. Can
anyone help with this challenge?
