DESCRIPTION

       userdel deletes an user account from the local system files or a LDAP database and removes all entries that refer to account from the group
       database. Before the  account  is  removed,  the  USERDEL_PRECMD  command  as  defined  in  login.defs(5)  is  called,  after  removal  the
       USERDEL_POSTCMD command is called.

OPTIONS

       -r, --remove-home
	      Remove  the  whole  home	directory  and the mail spool of the specified account. Files located in other directories will have to be
	      searched for and deleted manually.

       --service service

       -D, --binddn binddn

	      tion.

       -P, --path path
	      The  passwd  and	shadow	files  are  located  below the specified directory path. chpasswd will use this files, not /etc/passwd and
