For example.

/var/usershome/abcd/xyz/peter
/var/usershome/sunn/kasi
/var/usershome/john/imp/mogan
/var/usershome/kanni/proj/peter
/var/usershome/abcd/xyz/john
/var/usershome/sunn/abcd
/var/usershome/john/imp/kanni
/var/usershome/kanni/proj/abcd

above file show users names.
1.peter
2.kasi
3.mogan
4.peter
5.john
6.abcd
7.kanni

might be above said users directories are available in each other users directory, due to that hard-disk is filling up.

Regards,
Bash.

This should gives a list of the directories of the users:

Code:
while read user
do
  echo "List of user $user :"
  find /var/usershome/ -type d -name "$user"
done < readfile
