Code:
#!/bin/ksh
 
while read line
do
 usr=${$line%/public_html/*}       # assumes directory after user is always "/public_html"
 usr=${usr#/home/}                 # assumes user directory is always in /home"
 untar special.tar.gz -xvfz $line
 chown -R $usr:$usr $line          # should be no need to cd if last directory is okay 
 chmod -R 755 $line                # to be owned by $usr.  If not use cd "$line"
done < source.txt                  # command and replace "$line" in chown & chmod
                                   # with "*"

ok, to get the user dir/name for the permissions try
Code:
userid=`echo $userdir | awk 'BEGIN {FS="/"} {print $3}'`

so after using the cd command, your chown comand becomes
Code:
chown -R $userid:$userid *

or as above (Im to slow lol)
