CleanPWD A utility help clean up your PASSWORD.FD file.
(c) 1995 Hans Siemons / Prime Productions.
╔═══════
║ Introduction
╙───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Well, I run my bulletin board for quite a few years now and since
that time I suspected my password.fd to be full with nonsence.
There are three obvious faults that can be easily detected:
* The node is not listed.
* On one system more then one password is defined.
* One password is used for more then one system.
The last two situations could indicate that a nodenumber of the
system you put a password on was past on to somebody else.
This program will read your password file, and report all unlisted
nodes. Further, it will report the entire password file sorted on
sysop name and sorted on password. With this report you can easily
clean up your password file.

║ Usage
╙───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Here's how to use it...
CLEANPWD >report.txt
CleanPwd just writes it's report to standard output, just redirect
output to a file and voila, there's your report.
CleanPwd will only read your password.fd file, it is your job to
clean it up. The report just helps a lot!

║ Technical notes
╙───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
CleanPwd is not really multiline aware, it is ment for a cleanup
once in a while. It could work when all lines are running, but I
don't know. It reads your Frontdoor indexes and also support the
private nodelist in FDNODE.FDA.
