Subject: mkpasswd -d and big domains

Hi,

I had a problem running mkpasswd becuase our 'user domain' is overseas, and
has about 13k people in it.  I don't want 13k people, and to just run it
will take a LONG time.

Is anyone working a a fix?  I would suggest adding either
 a --current_user option for -d that only get the currently logged in user.

Alternatively accepting a list of account names to grab would also be
acceptable, and more flexible too.


I can't use cvs from behind our firewall, so it would be a while before I
can grab the code to look at patching it.

Mathew Boorman
