The above script will change /home/joe (and subdirectories) to be user joe and group joe, /home/fred to user fred and group fred, etc. If you haven't re-created the accounts yet then that's a different problem.Jeff Voskamp wrote:cd /home for x in *; do chown -R $x:$x $x doneThat doesn't seem to work for what I'm doing.What I'm trying to do is change all directories/files in a /home/user, from one owner/group to another owner/group.When I installed FC10, fresh install and format the / partition and left the /home partition from the old fedora 8 installin place.FC10 for some reason change all the directories/files to another user on box into a /home/user. I know this sounds confusing but the point, /home/molly has the wrong owner/group on her files. I have got to get them back to molly:molly in /home/molly.Thanks again Thanks for your helpJeffAre you saying ? chown -R molly:molly $x , what is the $x suppose to represent ?
A variable. Yes your command above should do it. Include the path to files though.
chown -R molly:molly /path/to/files Probably /home/molly -- "Any fool can know. The point is to understand" --Albert Einstein Bored?? http://fiction.wikia.com/wiki/Fuqwit1.0 http://fiction.wikia.com/wiki/Coding_the_Magic_into_the_Eight_Ball
