Just in case any of you find yourself in the frustrating situation I was 
in a few weeks ago where your vpasswd file gets narfled and for one 
reason another you dont have a current backup or your backup is corrupt, 
I'm attaching a really basic script (the first real shell script I've 
ever written, so excuse any glaring flaws) that walks through the directory 
structure and makes vpasswd entrys. You will of course need to change the 
users passwords as they call and complain :) Also, if anyones interested 
I wrote another script that will the backup directory generated 
by this script and restore it to the appropriate user directorys and 
subdirectorys (0,1,2 etc) which is nice if your setting up a new 
vpopmail setup and dont want to bring over your existing cluttered 
directory structure. I will post that if anyone requests it. Hope this 
helps someone out.
