No, the file I supply could have spaces if you needed it to solve my
problem.

This is just the thing I need:
username:plaintextPassword:ASingleGroup

Its perfect, but I´d like to know exactly what Im doing so heres another
question,
The passwordfile. If Im not thinking completly wrong it shouldn´t have any
headers or a fileextension

And do I have to use Chap? or can I use PAP with plain text passwords.

Thanks for the help. If you come to sweden I will buy you enough beers to
make you regret coming here ;)
