Re: printing out users without home directories

[syphilis]

This allows me to put all users into an array called @passwd_entries. How do I print out all users without /home directories?

for(@passwd_entries) {
 print "/home/$_ does not exist\n"
  unless -d "/home/$_";
}

See -X and perlsyn.

(Fixed a couple of typos in updates.)

for(@passwd_entries) { print "/home/$_ ...

In the context of the code from the root node, that won't work, since $_ contains the entire line from the entry.

Yes, the wording of the OP's initial post led me to believe that his @passwd_entries contained nothing but a list of the usernames - though, of course, the OP didn't exactly specify that was the case.
