can i do it in php? it is the same recursion problem
with the mp3 renaming a while ago.
elky_chown.php
------------------ cut the code here -------------------------
<?php
$handle=opendir( '/home' );
while (false!==($dir = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($dir != "." && $dir != "..")
{
$command = "chown -R ".$dir." .users ".$dir;
system( $command );
}
}
closedir($handle);
?>
------------------ cut the code here -------------------------
at the shell prompt type
shell> php /file_path/elky_chown.php
*NOTE: i've assumed that the home dir == user.
** php must be installed
HTH

hi i have a /home/samba folder that holds the samba
user's home directories, ok, so for some reason the
owner of each directory is "stto" and is in the group
"users". there are about a hundred directories!!
dont ask me how it happened... the admin must be
smoking weed again!!! now, i could always do "chown
-R daustria.users daustria", but i have to do it on
all the folders one by one!! how can i change it all
using bash? or perl?
each user's home directories is the same as the user
name of the users
thanks a lot
