Here are some key features of "Passenger":
Import Database Text
Passenger takes comma, colon, or tab-delimited text, Mac OS X Server & ASIP XML, or the names of folders in folders and imports names and other information to prepare for import into a server.

Name Concatenation
You can import first, last, and/or full name fields and use the menus to devise a formulation for names/usernames, short names and repeating digit usernames. Passenger will check for duplicate usernames before exporting.

Generate Passwords
Password generation is done by a tough algorithm that takes a combination of the master password and the username. Passwords created this way can be regenerated with the same master password and username. Formulation is extremely configurable and with presets for styles such as word-word or word number combination for security and easy memorization.

Set Account Parameters
It allows you to setup parameters for several servers or create your own parameters using the custom text setup.

Export for Servers & Eudora Client Settings
Exports for Mac OS X Server, Macintosh Manager, Eudora client settings customization and distribution, WebSTAR FTP, WebSTAR Web, Master Spell, Master Key, and user-defined customized export.
