removeuser

removeuser(8)						      System Manager's Manual						     removeuser(8)

NAME

       removeuser - Deletes user accounts interactively

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/removeuser

DESCRIPTION

								      Security Note

       If  you have enhanced security installed on your system, you should use the dxaccounts command to remove users. See the Security manual and
       the dxaccounts(8) reference page for more information.

       The removeuser command is an interactive command for deleting user accounts from your system.  It also gives the  option  of  deleting  the
       user's  home  directory, files and mail.  The command prompts you for specific information and informs you of its activity and error condi-
       tions.

       The removeuser command invokes /usr/sbin/userdel to delete the user account information from /etc/passwd and the hashed	password  database
       (if present).

       Only the superuser can execute this command.

       The  command performs the following tasks: Asks for a login name for the user to be deleted.  Enter the login name.  If this entry does not
       exist in the /etc/passwd file, the command informs you of this and exits.  If the entry does exist, the command	continues.   Displays  the
       entry for the user from the /etc/passwd file and asks if this is the entry you want to delete.  If the answer to this query is no, the com-
       mand indicates that the user was not deleted and then exits.  If the answer to this query is yes, the command deletes the user's entry from
       the /etc/passwd file and any occurrences of the user from the /etc/group file.  It then states that the user was deleted.  Searches several
       administrative directories and files for occurrences of the user and informs you if they exist.	If so, it suggests that you  may  want	to
       delete these occurrences when the command is finished.  If no occurrences of the user are found in these directories and files, the command
       indicates so.  Asks if you want to delete the home directory, all subdirectories, and all mail files for the user.  If the answer  to  this
       query  is no, the command indicates that the user's home directory was not deleted and then exits.  If the answer to this query is yes, the
       command continues.

	      As a precaution, the command reminds you that you should have backed up the files for the user before removing them if  you  do  not
	      want  to	lose  them.  It then asks if you are sure that you want to delete the files for this user.  If the answer to this query is
	      no, the command indicates that the user's home directory was not deleted and then exits.	If the answer to this query  is  yes,  the
	      command states that it is removing the user's home directory, its contents and the user's mail file.  It then deletes these items.

       At this point, the command ends.

NOTES

       Users  are advised to migrate to the /usr/sbin/userdel utility or the dxaccounts utility as this command may be removed in a future version
       of the operating system.

EXAMPLES

       Enter a login name to be removed or <Return> to exit:  john This is the entry for (john) in the /etc/passwd file:

       john:VSh6/xbMqPDcY:5006:15:sdf:/usr/users/john:

       Is this the entry you want to delete (y/n)?  y Working ...  Entry for (john) removed.  Searching relevant directories and files for  (john)
       ...   None  found.  Do you want to remove the home directory, all subdirectories, files, and mail for (john) (y/n)?  y The files for (john)
       will  be  lost  if  not	backed	up.   Are  you	sure  you  want  to  remove  these  files  (y/n)?   y  Deleting  /usr/users/john  Deleting
       /usr/spool/mail/john
