I have a need to remove a bunch of old user home directories from my
OS X server. Using BASH and ls, I've been able to redirect the directory structure to a file with 'ls -l >userslist'. I've then manually sifted through the list for directories whos owner doesn't match the a given directory name (I'm
sure I could have used grep to filter this for me but hey, that's why I'm here asking questions! I'm new to these tools.)

Anywhoo, what I want to do now is take this list of names and pipe it
into 'rm' to delete them. Which command would read my list line by line to stream into a pipe over to 'rm' to delete each directory? This is a simple one for most UNIX admins I'm sure and I could just do this with the GUI but I'm forcing myself to remove the training wheels.

Any takers? Thanks in advance.
