produce a list of users who's home dir is writable

[slikfrequency]

Hopefully somebody can help me with this...


I need to produce a list of users from the /etc/passwd file who's home directories are writable.

Thanks.

The first question would be "writable by who?"

This script will list all home directories in /etc/passwd which are writable by the user running the script ...

for i in `awk -F: '{print $6}' /etc/passwd`
do
[ -w $i ] && echo "$i is writable"
done

Obviously the results will be different depending on the user who runs the script.
