Perl is yer pal.  Actually, so is grep, but whatever.  Put 
a list of names in one file, and your pwdump output in another:

open(INFILE,"namelist.txt");
@names=<INFILE>;
close(INFILE);
                                                                                                                        
                                                                            
open(INFILE,"pwdumpfile.txt");
while(<INFILE>)
{
  $line=$_;
  chomp($line);
  @list=split(/:/,$line);
  foreach $name (@names)
  {
    chomp($name);
    if (@list[0] eq $name)
    {
      print "$line\n";
    }
  }
}
close(INFILE);

Hey!  No laughing at my crappy perl!
