simple htpasswd check logs script.

I have a script that runs a last of usernames and passwords though and htpasswd command - i output the stdout to a log file which is hundreds of thousands of line long.

Code:

/usr/local/apache2/bin/htpasswd -b $file $user $pass

Code:

Adding user: unknownl

Adding password for user unknown1

Adding user: unknown2

Adding password for user unknown2

Adding user: unknown3

Adding password for user unknown3

Adding user: varmand

Adding password for user varmand

Adding user: mustest

Adding password for user emustest

Adding user: dbtest1

Adding password for user dbtest1

I want to set up a check script that will look for anything out of the ordinary in the htpasswd hash creation.
like if there is an

Code:

"Adding user: $user"

line
there must be complemented with a line right after it that says:

Code:

Adding password for user $user

- like is has to be for the same user.

If the two lines do not follow that format - there must be some error. I tried using backreferences in perl, but I am drawing a blank.
Does anyone have any ideas on how i could approach this.

Have a look at this:

Code:

#!/bin/bash



inFile="/pat/to/infile"



userRGX='^Adding user: (.*)'

pswdRGX='^Adding password for user (.*)'



while read LINE

do

  [[ "$LINE" =~ $userRGX ]] && userAdd=("${userAdd[@]}" "${BASH_REMATCH[1]}")

  [[ "$LINE" =~ $pswdRGX ]] && userPwd=("${userPwd[@]}" "${BASH_REMATCH[1]}")

done < <( cat $inFile )



oldIFS=$IFS

IFS=$'\n\t'



echo "Users without a valid password entry : "

comm -23 <( echo "${userAdd[*]}" | sort ) <( echo "${userPwd[*]}" | sort )



echo -e "\nPassword entries without a valid user entry : "

comm -13 <( echo "${userAdd[*]}" | sort ) <( echo "${userPwd[*]}" | sort )



exit 0

Example run:

Code:

$ cat infile

Adding user: unknown1

Adding password for user unknown1

Adding user: unknown2

Adding user: unknown3

Adding password for user unknown3

Adding user: varmand

Adding password for user varmand

Adding user: mustest

Adding password for user emustest

Adding user: dbtest1

Adding password for user dbtest1



$ ./foo.sh

Users without valid password entry : 

mustest

unknown2



Password entries without valid user entry : 

emustest

The above code isn't perfect; If the same user name is added multiple times and one of them doesn't have a valid password entry the script will report the user name, but not if it is the first, second, third, .... entry.

it may not be perfect - but it will lead me in the right direction.
