That doesn't seem to work for what I'm doing.
What I'm trying to do is change all directories/files in a
/home/user, from one owner/group to another owner/group.
When I installed FC10, fresh install and format the / partition and
left the /home partition from the old fedora 8 install
in place.
FC10 for some reason change all the directories/files to another
user on box into a /home/user.
I know this sounds confusing but the point, /home/molly has the
wrong owner/group on her files. I have got to get them back to
molly:molly in /home/molly.
Thanks again
Thanks for your help
You saved /home on the re-install and re-created all the accounts and
now they don't line up?
The above script will change /home/joe (and subdirectories) to be
user joe and group joe, /home/fred to user fred and group fred, etc.
If you haven't re-created the accounts yet then that's a different
problem.

Are you saying ?
chown -R molly:molly $x , what is the $x suppose to represent ?
The x comes from the second line - the * matches all folders and files.
It's a four line script. Cut and paste to a shell.
Or in two lines:
cd /home
for x in *; do chown -R $x:$x $x ;done
