Re: Moving a preference to multiple users network homedirs

Be careful with this command but here is what I would do. If you go into Terminal and ssh into the server (or do this from the server as root) you can type the following commands.

Navigate to the folder that you were going to distribute directly into. For example. My folder would be /Volumes/LeftRAID/Class2009/. So what I would do is...

cd /Volumes/LeftRAID/Class2009/
cp file.doc */Documents (if you want to put it into every Documents folder of all folders in the current working directory.

You can use the * for things such as
ls -l */Documents

or you can
chmod 550 */Documents

or you can
chgrp teachers */Documents

I think you get the point.

There's a free utility that you can get from here:


called home directory helper.

I haven't used it but it looks like just the job for you.
