I have looked through marc's user creation script and I am trying to make some 
changes to it.
The problem I have is with the two lines:
sed -e '[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@@'
sed -e '[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[a-A-z0-9.]*@@'

What does "@" mean in terms of sed? My google searching has come up with 
nothing even remotly usefull on this topic.
As I understand it:
sed -e '[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@@' 
[a-zA-Z0-9]*\@ means (roughly) search for any string starting with any upper 
case letter, lower case letter, or digit. That string is of uknown length, but 
is terminated by the first @ sign we find. I am ok with this part it is the @ 
at the begining, and the @@ at the end that I don't understand.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] means (roughly) search for any string starting with an @, and 
followed by any number of upper case letter, lower case letter, or digits. That 
string is of uknown length, but is terminated by the first "." sign we find. I 
am ok with this part it is the @ at the begining, and the @@ at the end that I 
don't understand. Also it would seem that this would chop off the .com part of 
the domain.
