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

All-in-one AWK program:

BEGIN {
    while(getline < "webaccessuser" > 0) {
        webaccess[$1] = 1;
    }
    if (ERRNO != "") {
        print "Failed to read webaccessuser:", ERRNO;
        exit 1;
    }
    FS=":";
}

{
    if (webaccess[$1])
        print $1 ":" $2;
}

run with /etc/shadow as input, will produce a NCSA style password file
with the users listed in webaccessuser.
