Can anyone tell me the UNIX command for changing a users homepage? Or even better, all users on a computer?

Quit Safari.

defaults write com.apple.Safari HomePage http://www.someurl

This will change the homepage for currently logged in user to http://www.someurl or whereever you set it to.

If you need it for more than user, .. do you have only Mac OS X clients? It would probably be better to set some policy that dictates the page.

Just a warning... this doesn't seem to work in Safari <= 2.0.4

Why would you still use Safari older than 2.0.4?
