creates backup files, sets owner and permissions, reads home
directory, etc out of /etc/passwd - only taking uids > 1000 and
ignoring "nobody" (uid = 65534):
awk -F: '$3>1000 && $1!="nobody" {print $3,$4,$6}' /etc/passwd | \
while read u g h; do install -b -m 644 -o $u -g $g file.file $h; done
you may want to change the condition in the awk script to suit local
policy.
