I just noticed all my home directories are all owned by root. Is their a easy way to fix this? So, a user called "jdoe"'s home directory permissions were jdoe:user (user is the group that all my users are in). I managed to get some of them working by hand, but this machine hosts over 2000 users. Is their a directory repair or something easy to correct this?
