Write a little script.
#!/bin/bash
for z in *; do
mkdir -p $z/dot/attach;
chown -R $z:$z $z/dot/attach;
chmod -R 755 $z/dot/attach;
done
Save this, stick it in /home, chmod it to 700 and run it.
Come back after coffee and look for the results. The important line is the
second one - sets a loop which looks through all the entries in the
current directory, and performs the following commands on them. The
variable z simply holds the next name in the queue being read from the
list of directory names.
