After you convert the password files: grep /home/ /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{ print $3 " " $4 " " $6; }' \ | while read pwuid pwgid pwhome ; do [ -d $pwhome ] || ( mkdir $pwhome && chown $pwuid:$pwgid $pwhome ) done -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
