Congrats. You almost got it :).
CLIENTS=`echo ~fred ~anke ~georg ~uwe ~matthias`
The improvement is to just make it one sub-shell rather than multiple
sub-shells. Makes a big difference if you're doing this for 1000's of
accounts.

Lynn's known what backticks are for more years than he wants me to mention
on a public list :), but you have no way of knowing that through a mailing
list. There's probably people besides Lynn looking at the answers anyway.
We still need a way to do:
for $username in $users
do
userdir=~$username
...
done
