Normal tools should help.
awk to extract the list of directories:
awk -F: '($3 >= 1000 && $1 !~ /^_/) { print $6 }' /etc/passwd
grep the result for the pattern '^/home/' (or whatever your base of
home is), sed that away 's,^/home/,,', sort it. Compare (e.g. using
diff) with the output of ls /home/ | sort.
The lines with + are the directories that shouldn't be there (if you
use the ls output as the second input to diff), the lines with - are
the directories that should be there but aren't. Act upon them properly.
Kind regards,
Hannah.
