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 <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
