Hi David, A little while ago, I wrote some perl scripts that take a text file with usernames like so: <user file> user1 user2 user3 </user file> then creates the unix account, sets a default password, sets up the sendmail virtusertable, and a few other things. You should be able to use it to create the aliases file instead of the virtusertable without much trouble. I will send it over when I get home (I'm at work now), in a couple of hours.
