Create a subset of the passwd file with the user, group, and home
directory only:
# cut -f1,4,6 -d: /etc/passwd | grep /home/ | sed -e 's/:/ /g' /tmp/pw
Create the directory tree. You need the '-p' flag in mkdir if you
have multiple levels of directories under /home:
# awk '{print mkdir -p, $3}' /tmp/pw | sh
Next, set permissions. Use 750 instead of 755 if you don't want
world read access to user's home directories:
# awk '{print chmod 755, $3}' /tmp/pw | sh
If you want to populate the home directories with some default dot files
(.profile, etc) you can do something like
# cd /etc/skel
# awk '{print find . -print | cpio -pdum, $3}' /tmp/pw
Finally, set ownerships. This assumes you want the user's home
directory and files owned by the user and the default user's group:
# awk '{print chown -R, $1.$2, $3}' /tmp/pw | sh
# rm /tmp/pw

You can get the list from /etc/password easily enough with awk. I'd do:
USERS=$(awk -F: '$3 999 { print $1 }' | grep -v nobody)
which assumes you follow the convention of new users being above
1000. Given that list, you can easily create the directories:
cd /home
for user in $(awk -F: '$3 999 { print $1 }' | grep -v nobody)
do
mkdir $user
# Copy whatever else you want into place, say /etc/skel/.*
chown -R $user $user
done
