ssh does run on meo, or at least it did before it was switched off.

probably the easiest thing to do is delete the browser archive (which is
still on there iirc), and then run bash as root and do the following:

cd /home ; for i in * ; do tar --atime-preserve -cvzf $i.tar.gz $i ; done

this should create a tarball of each individual home directory, ready for
picking up and sending to anyone who requests it.  Unix users should have no
problem unpacking a gzipp'd tarball, Winzip can handle them too.

caveat: untested ;)
