[squid-users] howto handle large changing password file for ncsa authentication

dear squid users,

i am looing for a program or script which can
handle large changing password file for ncsa
authentication.

i have a text file (webaccessuser) with user's login
name only. one name per line. it contains about 400
names. one or two user names are inserted and deleted
from this file everyday.

i have another text file (alluser-n-password)
generated with 'awk/sed' from /etc/shadow file.
this file contains information in
username:encryptedpassword
format. it is about 600 lines. one username and
encrypted password per line. it contains all
names that appear in 'webaccessuser' file plus
some other usernames.

i am looking for a script or a program
which can generate a file from 'webaccessuser'
and 'alluser-n-password' that contains only
all usernames from webaccessuser and password
seperated by ':'. one user and password entry
per line for ncsa authentication.

could anyone show me pointers to get/write a
script or program that would do the above
job once a day?

thank you.
a.
