Hey Ferret!
I know this request sounds like a pain - but we have 2 groups - a very busy one that gets request for adding users and doing other work.
And another not so busy group with less experience. We want the less experienced group to add the passwords - with out messing up the original file.

Where are the sysadmins - well this task of adding passwords is above them.

I was tasked to write a script to allow additions - so here I am trying (and failing badly). Just lookin' for help!

Thanks for seeing that syntax error - I went coo coo. So simple - for others to see!
