So it's basically just the converse of vpassgen, with an added directory checking test and another line to echo the output to stdout or a file so you can go back through and check that everything got put in the right places. It might be a good idea to comment out the actual cp line and do a trial run before you use this on a working system since its not a very 'sophisticated' script and i just wrote it to work with my setup. But if it saves someone the few minutes it takes to figure it out, i guess its worth it :) Cheers, Sailin HomerNet
