[K12OSN] Re: reply to k12OSN:pushing icons out to desktops

[Peter Scheie]

Ah, I think I see the problem.  The push-icons-to-users-desktops script 
gets the list of users by parsing /etc/passwd (line 41 in the script); 
but in your case, your /etc/passwd doesn't contain any user info because 
that's all stored in the Windows AD.  Fortunately, it sounds like you 
can get a list of all your users by just looking at all the directories 
in /home/domain, right?  Assuming so, try making two modifications: 
First, comment out line 41 and replace it with this:

for i in $(ls /home/domain/)

Second, add this line after the 'do' command on line 42

U=/home/domain/${i}

So, the end result should look like this:

...
# find all of the subdirectories under /home
## getent passwd | cut -d: -f6 | while read U
for i in $(ls /home/domain/)
do
	U=/home/domain/${i}
         # copy new-style Desktop
	if [ -d "$U"/Desktop/ ]; then
	...

and so on.  Try this and let us know what happens.
