I just took over for the old Linux admin...

I'm trying to figure out how to verify if some users who have a home directory 'owner' of their Active Directory Userid are indeed valid users.

So far, I've done:

find . -nouser -type d | grep -v .kde

but the results are less than satisfactory...

Example:
./joe.setty
./joe.setty/src
./joe.setty/us
./joe.setty/us/xx

I'd like just the name on the home directory, without all the subdirectories.

Once that is done, I'd like to pipe the output to a 'finger' command, to see if the user is valid.

Any ideas?

Many thanks!

Okay, I've figured out how to use the -maxdepth 1 option on find...

Now all I have to do is strip off the leading "./" before piping the output to finger.

How do I do that?

pipe to

or
pipe to

Excellent!
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you VERY much.
