I was working with a trainee under me (he's learning abit of UNIX from a novice who is me ;-)). This is on a TESTING BOX so this guy logs in as root, cd /usr/home where we have about 80 directories with various owners!! Then what does he do? he did chwon -R * some_user Now I need to rename the folders to the rightful owners. I sound quite comfortable about this but I DO NOT know how I can do it. Someone MUST be knowing how some script can help me do that, especially because the users have uniq uids in the /etc/passwd..somehow?????? Thanks in advance.
