And now for something completely different.... If I can't get the /
usr
partition to work is there any way to recreate the user
directories from
the password file? The contents will be lost but nobody uses their
folder
anyway, I just need all the /usr/home folders created... I could
write a
script, but I thought I'd check first to see if something already
exists.......
That's trivial. In /bin/sh syntax:
# cd /home
# awk -F: '$3>999{print $1}' /etc/passwd | xargs mkdir
# for i in *; do chown $i:$i $i; done
It might help to copy the stuff out of /usr/share/skel, too, like
this (untested):
cd /home
for user in `awk -F: '$3>999{print $1}' /etc/passwd`; do
cp -r /usr/share/skel ./$user
for dotfile in $user/dot.*; do
mv $dotfile `echo $dotfile | sed 's#/dot\.#.#'`
done
chown -R $user:$user $user
done
Take a look at /usr/sbin/adduser to see how it does it
That will create home directories for all users whose UID
is greater than 999.
Best regards
Oliver
