Ive just reviewed another part of this song[sic] and I wonder about the 
section


cat /etc/passwd > list
ncheck list
ncheck list
cat list | grep naughty > nogiftlist


As near as I can see, within the /etc/passwd file, there is no field to 
support naught/nice. Further if this grep is called to define naughty or 
nice then surely anyone with the surnames of naughty or nice will be 
penalised/benefited by their name.

This makes me wonder if there is not a better table and dataformat for 
santa to be checking his present list with ?
