are the directories named after the users? i.e., is
daustria's directory named daustria? if yes, and if
there are no spaces in any directory name [ see previous
discussions :]
cd /home/samba
for fn in `ls`
do
if [ -d $fn ]
then
chown -R $fn.users $fn
fi
done
that assumes that all directories are user directories with the
same name as the user. if that's not the case, don't do the
above.
if it's the case for almost all of them, do the above, and then
fix the exceptions.
if you're paranoid (and you *should* be), do a:
cd /home
tar cvzf samba.tgz samba
first :).
