Fixing Home and Passwd

Hi,

After figuring out why my WinXP Pro install blows up mysteriously, I was
thinking of creating some scripts to patch the scenario when accounts
have spaces in them.

I was going to make fixpasswd and fixhome scripts, which essentially
take the first character and munge it with the first 7 chars of the
preceeding name, and lower case it all.  Thus, "Howard Johnson" would
become "hjohnson".

I am wondering though, what else needs to be fixed up?
