Where I work, we know that it's tough to gain experience, so we tend to look favorably on people that can work on home projects and show good results. I've hired people on the basis of a server they set up at home. They showed me a working LAMP environment with mail server and Samba. I asked them to make certain specific configuration changes and perform tasks-- adding a new domain, new user, performing a backup, creating a new share, etc. Even though it wasn't a professional environment, they showed they could learn. I don't know how common it is that non-professional work is accepted as evidence of ability, but we look on it very favorably.

sss_userdel

SSS_USERDEL(8)							 SSSD Manual pages						    SSS_USERDEL(8)

NAME

       sss_userdel - delete a user account

SYNOPSIS

       sss_userdel [options] LOGIN

DESCRIPTION

       sss_userdel deletes a user identified by login name LOGIN from the system.

OPTIONS

       -h,--help
	   Display help message and exit.

       -r,--remove
	   Files in the user's home directory will be removed along with the home directory itself and the user's mail spool. Overrides the
	   configuration.

       -R,--no-remove
	   Files in the user's home directory will NOT be removed along with the home directory itself and the user's mail spool. Overrides the
	   configuration.

       -f,--force
	   This option forces sss_userdel to remove the user's home directory and mail spool, even if they are not owned by the specified user.

       -k,--kick
	   Before actually deleting the user, terminate all his processes.

THE LOCAL DOMAIN

       In order to function correctly, a domain with "id_provider=local" must be created and the SSSD must be running.

       The administrator might want to use the SSSD local users instead of traditional UNIX users in cases where the group nesting (see
       sss_groupadd(8)) is needed. The local users are also useful for testing and development of the SSSD without having to deploy a full remote
       server. The sss_user* and sss_group* tools use a local LDB storage to store users and groups.
