     qmail-pw2u - build address assignments from a passwd file

     qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----ppppwwww2222uuuu [ -////oooohhhhHHHHuuuuUUUUCCCC ] [ -cccc_c_h_a_r ]

DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
     qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----ppppwwww2222uuuu reads a V7-format passwd file from standard input
     and prints a qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----uuuusssseeeerrrrssss-format assignment file.

     A V7-format passwd file is a series of lines.  Each line has
     the format

        user:password:uid:gid:gecos:home:shell

     where _u_s_e_r is an account name, _u_i_d and _g_i_d are the  user  id
     and group id of that account, and _h_o_m_e is the account's home
     directory.   _p_a_s_s_w_o_r_d,  _g_e_c_o_s,  and  _s_h_e_l_l  are  ignored  by
     qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----ppppwwww2222uuuu.

     If   you    put    the    output    of    qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----ppppwwww2222uuuu    into
     ////vvvvaaaarrrr////qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll////uuuusssseeeerrrrssss////aaaassssssssiiiiggggnnnn,  and  then  run  qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----nnnneeeewwwwuuuu, qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----
     llllssssppppaaaawwwwnnnn will obey  the  assignments  printed  by  qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----ppppwwww2222uuuu.
     WWWWAAAARRRRNNNNIIIINNNNGGGG::::  After  changing  any  users,  uids,  gids, or home
     directories in your passwd file, you must run qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----ppppwwww2222uuuu and
     qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----nnnneeeewwwwuuuu  again  if  you  want  qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----llllssssppppaaaawwwwnnnn  to  see  the
     changes.

RRRRUUUULLLLEEEESSSS
     By default, qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----ppppwwww2222uuuu follows  the  same  rules  as  qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----
     ggggeeeettttppppwwww.   It skips _u_s_e_r if (1) _u_i_d is zero, (2) _h_o_m_e does not
     exist, (3) _u_s_e_r does not own  _h_o_m_e,  or  (4)  _u_s_e_r  contains
     uppercase  letters.   It then gives each remaining _u_s_e_r con-
     trol over the basic _u_s_e_r address and all  addresses  of  the
     form  _u_s_e_r----_a_n_y_t_h_i_n_g.   A catch-all user, aaaalllliiiiaaaassss, controls all
     other addresses.

     You  may  change  these  rules  by  setting  up   files   in
     ////vvvvaaaarrrr////qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll////uuuusssseeeerrrrssss:

     iiiinnnncccclllluuuuddddeeee
          Allowed users, one per line.  If  iiiinnnncccclllluuuuddddeeee  exists,  and
          _u_s_e_r is not listed in iiiinnnncccclllluuuuddddeeee, _u_s_e_r is ignored.

     eeeexxxxcccclllluuuuddddeeee
          Ignored users, one per line.  If  eeeexxxxcccclllluuuuddddeeee  exists,  and
          _u_s_e_r is listed in eeeexxxxcccclllluuuuddddeeee, _u_s_e_r is ignored.

     mmmmaaaaiiiillllnnnnaaaammmmeeeessss
          Replacement names for users.  Each line has the form

             user:mailname1:mailname2:...

          The addresses _m_a_i_l_n_a_m_e_1 and _m_a_i_l_n_a_m_e_1----_e_x_t and _m_a_i_l_n_a_m_e_2
          and so on will be delivered to _u_s_e_r.

          WWWWAAAARRRRNNNNIIIINNNNGGGG:::: The addresses _u_s_e_r and _u_s_e_r----_e_x_t  will  not  be
          delivered  to  _u_s_e_r unless _u_s_e_r is listed as one of the
          _m_a_i_l_n_a_m_es.

          A line in mmmmaaaaiiiillllnnnnaaaammmmeeeessss is silently  ignored  if  the  user
          does not exist.

     ssssuuuubbbbuuuusssseeeerrrrssss
          Extra addresses.  Each line has the form

             sub:user:pre:

          _s_u_b will be handled by _h_o_m_e////....qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll-_p_r_e, where  _h_o_m_e  is
          _u_s_e_r's  home  directory;  _s_u_b----_e_x_t  will  be  handled by
          _h_o_m_e////....qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll-_p_r_e-_e_x_t.

          Extra assignments, printed at the end  of  qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----ppppwwww2222uuuu's
          output.

OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
     -oooo   (Default.)  Skip _u_s_e_r if _h_o_m_e does not exist (or is not
          visible to qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----ppppwwww2222uuuu).  Skip _u_s_e_r if _h_o_m_e is not owned
          by _u_s_e_r.

     -hhhh   Stop if _h_o_m_e does not exist.  This  is  appropriate  if
          every  user is supposed to have a home directory.  Skip
          _u_s_e_r if _h_o_m_e is not owned by _u_s_e_r.

     -HHHH   Do not check the existence or ownership of _h_o_m_e.

     -UUUU   (Default.)   Skip  _u_s_e_r  if  there  are  any  uppercase
          letters in _u_s_e_r.

     -uuuu   Allow uppercase letters in _u_s_e_r.

     -cccc_c_h_a_r
          Use _c_h_a_r as the user-extension delimiter in place of ----.

     -CCCC   Disable the user-extension mechanism.

     -////   Use _h_o_m_e////....qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll-////...  instead of _h_o_m_e////....qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll-...
