Not sure about this off the top of my head but an alternative would be to
update the ownership of the files.
I guess you can do something like:
ls -l /skole/tjener/home0/ | awk '{ print $3, $9 }'
to get a mapping of username:olduids, possibly using awk to pull the info
out.
You could then run:
find /tmp/ /skole/tjener/home0/$USERNAME -uid $UID -exec chown
$USERNAME {} \;
for each id/username pair which will find all the files with the old uid
and set them to the new uid by username.
I realise it's a lot more work for the server but if you need to get it
done quickly, it might be quicker than reading docs.
