For ownership, it is much simpler to use the -R option
chown -R owner.group directory
For file permission, that gets trickier because directories and
executables need the 'x' bit set. But for regular files, use
chmod -R 640 directory
and then fix directories by using
find directory -type d -exec chmod 750 {} \;
For your example, I think this will work for you
grep /home/ /home/scott/homedirpass \
| awk -F: '{ print $1 " " $4; }' \
| while read pwuser pwgid ; do \
[ -d ~$pwuser ] || ( chown -R $pwuser.$pwgid ~$pwuser ) \
done
Thanks... Dan.
