A while ago I was asked to remove some users from a production system. Rather than removing them I commented them out in /etc/passwd
i.e.
Code:
# Scott - removed 16.09.12 - userX:*:12345:45678.....
I also removed a symbolic link in /home to the actual home directory, and renamed the actual home directory to something else (i.e. /app/some/dir/prod/userX_DELETEME).
This was handy because a few days later I was asked to put some of the users back!
It's quite a few users so I thought I would write a script to do it recreate the link and rename the directories.
I've generated code to grab the username from the /etc/password but somehow got "# Scott" instead, and for reasons unbeknown seem to have run chown -R on the directory using "# Scott" as the owner, instead of the username.
I'm not quite sure why I ran chown but I have, and now I have a whole bunch of home directories which, when listed, show the owner as "#Scott -". ls -ln.

unburden-home-dir
UNBURDEN-HOME-DIR(1) User Commands UNBURDEN-HOME-DIR(1)NAME
unburden-home-dir - unburdens home directories from caches and trashes
SYNOPSIS
unburden-home-dir [ -n | -u | -f filter ]
unburden-home-dir ( -h | --help | --version )
DESCRIPTION
unburden-home-dir unburdens the home directory from files and directory which cause high I/O or disk usage but are neither important if
they are lost, e.g. caches or trash directory.
When being run it moves the files and directories given in the configuration file to a location outside the home directory, e.g. /tmp or
/scratch, and puts appropriate symbolic links in the home directory instead.
OPTIONS -f just unburden those directory matched by the given filter (a perl regular expression) -- matches the already unburdened directories
if used together with -u.
-F Do not check for files in use with lsof before (re)moving files.
-n dry run (show what would be done)
-u undo (reverse the functionality and put stuff back into the home directory)
-h, --help
show this help
--version
show the program's version
