The named user must exist. + + + + + OPTIONS + + The options which apply to the userdel command are: + + + + + , + + + + This option forces the removal of the user account, even if the + user is still + logged in. It also forces userdel to remove + the user's home directory and mail spool, even if another + user uses the same home directory or if the mail spool is not + owned by the specified user. If + is defined to yes in /etc/login.defs + and if a group exists with the same name as the deleted user, + then this group will be removed, even if it is still the primary + group of another user. + + + Note: This option is dangerous and may leave + your system in an inconsistent state. + + + + + , + + Display help message and exit. + + + + + , + + + + Files in the user's home directory will be removed along with + the home directory itself and the user's mail spool. Files + located in other file systems will have to be searched for and + deleted manually. + + + The mail spool is defined by the + variable in the login.defs file. + + + + + + ,  CHROOT_DIR + + + + Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR + directory and use the configuration files from the + CHROOT_DIR directory. + Only absolute paths are supported. + + + + + + ,  PREFIX_DIR + + + + Apply changes in the PREFIX_DIR + directory and use the configuration files from the + PREFIX_DIR directory. + This option does not chroot and is intended for preparing + a cross-compilation target. + Some limitations: NIS and LDAP users/groups are not verified. + PAM authentication is using the host files. + No SELINUX support. + + + + + + , + + + + Remove any SELinux user mapping for the user's login. + + + + + + + + CONFIGURATION + + The following configuration variables in + /etc/login.defs change the behavior of this + tool: + + + &MAIL_DIR; + &MAX_MEMBERS_PER_GROUP; + &TCB_SYMLINKS; + &USE_TCB; + &USERDEL_CMD; + &USERGROUPS_ENAB; + + + + + FILES + + + /etc/group + + Group account information. + + + + /etc/login.defs + + Shadow password suite configuration. + + + + /etc/passwd + + User account information. + + + + /etc/shadow + + Secure user account information. + + + + /etc/shadow-maint/userdel-pre.d/*, /etc/shadow-maint/userdel-post.d/* + + Run-part files to execute during user deletion. The environment variable ACTION will be populated with userdel and SUBJECT with the username. userdel-pre.d will be executed prior to any user deletion. userdel-post.d will execute after user deletion.

In that + case, you may have to kill those processes or lock the user's + password or account and remove the account later. The + option can force the deletion of this account. + + + You should manually check all file systems to ensure that no files + remain owned by this user. + + You may not remove any NIS attributes on a NIS client. This must + be performed on the NIS server. + + If is defined to yes in /etc/login.defs, + userdel will delete the group with the same name + as the user. To avoid inconsistencies in the passwd and group + databases, userdel will check that this group is + not used as a primary group for another user, and will just warn + without deleting the group otherwise. The option + can force the deletion of this group. + + + + + SEE ALSO + + chfn1 + , + + chsh1 + , + + passwd1 + , + + login.defs5 + , + + gpasswd8 + , + + groupadd8 + , + + groupdel8 + , + + groupmod8 + , + + + subgid5 + , + + subuid5 + , + + + useradd8 + , + + usermod8 + . + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
