Change the group owner for user's home directories to the primary group of the assigned user.

# chgrp groupname directoryname

(Replace examples with appropriate group and home directory.)

Document all changes.

Check Contents

Check the group ownership for each user in the /etc/passwd file.

Procedure:
# cut -d : -f 6 /etc/passwd | xargs -n1 ls -ld | more
