Well, I'm back to this project again, after taking care of some other more
pressing problems.  First off, the domains/users were not on a RAQ4 (which I
think was understood, just reiterating), so the modified CMU idea is
probably the one that I will need to use.  However, I cannot find a good
copy of these scripts anywhere.  The links on the Internet to the ones that
I have found are no longer available.

Does anyone have a good copy of the CMU scripts?

Thanks!

Alex
