["Mark Taylor" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Here is my work as of now.
It is up for grabs and ready to be torn appart.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.

The scripts I made were to read a Livingston RADIUS users file.
I made these scripts so when a user needs added or deleted all anyone would
have to do is run the script and enter the user and users password to be
added or deleted.
I chose perl since it comes with Debian Linux.
Also I have been told that perl parses files quickly.
I also chose perl since it is a scripting language. I will be able to make
changes on the fly.
At some point I am going to have the users file in a database and will have
to alter these scripts to work with a database file.
I used the text format to start with since it will get production and money
coming in faster.

I'm interested in your ideas about how to do it.  You can look at the
earlier messages in the archive.  One problem for greppish commands is
that the sections are separated by double line feeds, but there isn't a
separator before the first record, nor after the last one (I think), so
you have to design the command to deal with those issues.
