|
|
jobs belonging to the user,
|
|
|
|
|
then removes a user from the system's local password file, removes
|
|
|
|
|
the user's home directory if it is owned by the user, and removes
|
|
|
|
|
the user's incoming mail file if it exists. The username is removed
|
|
|
|
|
from any groups to which it belongs in the file
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/group .
|
|
|
|
|
If a group becomes empty and the group name is the same as the username,
|
|
|
|
|
the group is removed (this complements
|
|
|

|
.Xr adduser 8 's

per-user unique groups).

.Nm rmuser
|
|
|
|
|
politely refuses to remove users whose uid is 0 (typically root), since
|
|
|
|
|
it seemed like a good idea at the time
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm rmuser
|
|

|
was written.

|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm rmuser
|
|
|
|
|
shows the selected user's password file entry and asks for confirmation
|
|
|
|
|
that you wish to remove the user. If the user's home directory is owned
|
|
|
|
|
by the user (and not by any other user),
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm rmuser
|
|
|
|
|
asks whether you wish to remove the user's home directory and everything
|
|
|
|
|
below.
