Try it; this will not work (bash will expand the expression above to a
list of existing files named 'filename' in each subdirectory of /home;
I would suggest the following: run as root
cat /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{print $6," ", $3," ", $4}' | egrep '^/home' \
| while read p u g; do
echo "touch $p/filename; chown $u:$g $p/filename"; done
and save results to /root/touch_filename;
The edit that file, remove unneeded entries (e.g. for system accounts
having home directory in /home) and finally
bash /root/touch_filename
This assumes that home directories and filename does not contain spaces,
etc.
As other said, if you put filename with /etc/skel it will be automatically
created in each new user home directory.
