+# This script is a very rudimentary hack to fill my purpose.  It may or may not
+# work for you.  It could also be put to use with LDAP with minimal
+# modification.
+# Theory: basically, the script should be run on a cron schedule.  At run, it
+# searches all users in a specified AD group.  It then checks to see if
+# subdirectories exist for the user, if not, it decides to create them.  It
+# then loops through to look for directories that do not have a corresponding
+# user in the AD list and deletes them.  It technically (at this point) does
+# not revoke access and restart the vpn, this is IMPORTANT, because in my setup
+# we are authenticating against AD anyway as a second layer.  This is not fully
+# secure but like I said, it is a major work in progress.
