NAME

chownfu - recursively chown user dirs to respective users and config file

USAGE

chownfu [OPTION]...

OPTION

-d    debug
-h    help
-v    version
-N    do not chown user specs in conf
-u    chown for /home/* users
-t    don't run, just show what would happen

DESCRIPTION

I work as root often. Stuff in /home/username needs to be owned by username. This can recursively chown stuff to that, depending on what users are found.

By default this looks inside your /etc/chownfu.conf for instructions. If you use the -u flag, we recursively seek users in /home/* to fix ownerships.

TARGET AUDIENCE

You're a sysadmin and you need to make sure that parts of the system are owned by certain user/groups.

/etc/chownfu.conf

If found, this YAML config file lists user/group to paths to chown.

---
leo: /home/otherstuff
cham.cham: /var/www
dyer.apache: 
   - /home/dyer
   - /home/ruffus
   - /var/log/dyer.log

With this conf, running chownfu with no flags would run this.
