I only want to make student /home 6770.
I want to move all students off of /var/fileserver.
It's just too hard for kindergarteners and 1st graders to navigate that
much.
Therefore I removed all File Server links in all student /home.

I want to implement this new system of creating a Student folder in every
teacher's /home, and fill it with links to their student's /home.
That's why I want to make all student /home 6770, and add the teacher to
the student's primary group.
I figured it would allow the teacher to read and write to all of his/her
students /home.

Staff users are still using the File Server link. Which needs to be fixed
as you said above. However, the student-teacher thing is a priority for me
at the moment.

Maybe I can modify that cron script to do my work for me. Can it be
modified to change only users in the students group to 6770?
