Passenger 2.2a4 is out

Passenger 2.2a4 is out. (Passenger home page) Passenger is a tool for Mac OS X Server administrators to bulk-create users and accounts. It can import usernames from a variety of sources, or auto-generate them from a list of names. It can import passwords or randomly generate them. It creates home directories. It weeds out duplicates, even over a network (with a centralized user list on a NetInfo parent server). You can point it to a directory of existing home directories and it can create users based on the directory names. It is everything that the Users and Groups module of Server Admin is not (although it will be interesting to see how much of this functionality gets rolled into Mac OS X Server 10.2).
