Multiple User preferences



Mostly I lurk here and soak up the combined wisdom of the list but now I have an interesting problem and I'm quite sure that someone here will point me in the right direction.

I have several machines that are shared between two shifts of workers. Last night I pushed out a new set of Quark 6 preferences to both accounts on the shared computers. The computers that were currently in use assigned the proper ownership to the files.

The Quark 6 preference files are located here:

~/Library/Preferences/Quark

Accounts that were not currently active (i.e., the account wasn't logged in) had ownership of root:admin assigned to the Quark prefs directory and its contents. I need to fix that and set it to the proper account ownership. I know I can do this with the Send Unix Command function in ARD but I'm unsure of the syntax. Essentially I'm looking for a command that will check the contents of /Users and chown recursively the contents to the proper owner. Account names and Home directory names are identical so it should be possible to just get the individual accounts from the contents of /Users. I just don't know where to start.

Thanks in advance!
