Hi guys, thanks for the replies. i wasn't told to write a script that long. I know it's redundant, but i this is the only way i know how to... The requirement is to just get the script to check the perms on all users home directory and display if they are only writable by their owners. The script actually works OK, but the problem is it just takes to long to run and i was told to find another way, which i have no idea how to. So I'm kinda stuck here. =(
