NAME
       newusers.pl - A perl script that compares a list of usernames and MD5
       sums output by digestion.pl(1) to the passwd database and outputs a
       list of accounts that are in that list but not in the passwd database.

SYNOPSIS
       hunter-seeker.pl [ -h ] [ -i [input file] ] [ -o [output file] ]
       [ -f [MD5 sum field in GECOS] ] [ -G [affected group] ]

DESCRIPTION
       hunter-seeker.pl iterates through /etc/passwd comparing MD5 sums of
       users in the group specified as argument to -G to a list of MD5 sums as
       output by digestion.pl(8). It outputs a list of users that are in the
       input list but not in passwd(5). This list is suitable for processing
       with userneu(8).

       -i [input file]
	    Read input from input file or stdin if "-".

       -o [output file]
	    Write output to output file or stdout if "-".

       -G [group]
	    Iterate over all users whose primary group is group.

       -a [file]
	    Read a list of MD5 sums to be ignored from file. Even if these
	    sums are not found in passwd(5), they are not written to the out‐
	    put list.  This might be useful if you'd like to keep some old
	    user accounts without MD5 sums in the GECOS field.

       -f [MD5 sum field in GECOS]
	    Specify the field in GECOS that contains the MD5 sum.

FILES
	       list_digested   Default input filename
	       to_create       Default output filename
