Create the altix project branch. The altix project will add support
for the SGI Altix 350 to FreeBSD/ia64. The hardware used for porting is a two-module system, consisting of a base compute module and a CPU expansion module. SGI's NUMAFlex architecture can be an excellent platform to test CPU affinity and NUMA-aware features in FreeBSD.

-.Dt RMUSER 8
-.Os
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm rmuser
-.Nd remove users from the system
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Nm
-.Op Fl yv
-.Op Fl f Ar file
-.Op Ar username ...
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm
-utility removes one or more users submitted on the command line
-or from a file.
-In removing a user from the system, this utility:
-.Bl -enum
-.It
-Removes the user's
-.Xr crontab 1
-entry (if any).
-.It
-Removes any
-.Xr at 1
-jobs belonging to the user.
-.It
-Sends a
-.Dv SIGKILL
-signal to all processes owned by the user.
-.It
-Removes the user from the system's local password file.
-.It
-Removes the user's home directory (if it is owned by the user),
-including handling of symbolic links in the path to the actual home
-directory.
-.It
-Removes the incoming mail and POP daemon mail files belonging to the
-user from
-.Pa /var/mail .
-.It
-Removes all files owned by the user from
-.Pa /tmp , /var/tmp ,
-and
-.Pa /var/tmp/vi.recover .
-.It
-Removes the username from all groups to which it belongs in
-.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 Ns 's
-per-user unique groups.)
-.It
-Removes all message queues, shared memory segments and
-semaphores owned by the user.
-.El
-.Pp
-The
-.Nm
-utility refuses to remove users whose UID is 0 (typically root), since
-certain actions (namely, killing all the user's processes, and perhaps
-removing the user's home directory) would cause damage to a running system.
-If it is necessary to remove a user whose UID is 0, see
-.Xr vipw 8
-for information on directly editing the password file.
-.Pp
-If
-.Nm
-was not invoked with the
-.Fl y
-option, it will
-show the selected user's password file entry and ask for confirmation
-that the user be removed.
-It will then ask for confirmation to delete
-the user's home directory.
-If the answer is in the affirmative, the home
-directory and any files and subdirectories under it will be deleted only if
-they are owned by the user.
-See
-.Xr pw 8
-for more details.
-.Pp
-As
-.Nm
-operates, it informs the user regarding the current activity.
-If any
-errors occur, they are posted to standard error and, if it is possible for
-.Nm
-to continue, it will.
-.Pp
-The options are as follows:
-.Bl -tag -width ".Ar username"
-.It Fl f Ar file
-The
-.Nm
-utility will get a list of users to be removed from
-.Ar file ,
-which will contain one user per line.
-Anything following a hash mark
-.Pq Ql # ,
-including the hash mark itself, is considered a comment and will not
-be processed.
-If the file is owned by anyone other than a user with
-UID 0, or is writable by anyone other than the owner,
-.Nm
-will refuse to continue.
-.It Fl y
-Implicitly answer
-.Dq Li yes
-to any and all prompts.
-Currently, this includes
-prompts on whether to remove the specified user and whether to remove
-the home directory.
-This option requires that either the
-.Fl f
-option be used, or one or more user names be given as command line
-arguments.
-.It Fl v
-Enable verbose mode.
-Normally,
-the output includes one line per removed user;
-however,
-with this option
-.Nm
-will be much more chatty about the steps taken.
-.It Ar username
-Identifies one or more users to be removed; if not present,
-.Nm
-interactively asks for one or more users to be removed.
-.El
-.Sh FILES
-.Bl -tag -compact
-.It Pa /etc/master.passwd
-.It Pa /etc/passwd
-.It Pa /etc/group
-.It Pa /etc/spwd.db
-.It Pa /etc/pwd.db
-.El
-.Sh SEE ALSO

-.Xr vipw 8
-.Sh HISTORY
-The
-.Nm
-utility appeared in
-.Fx 2.2 .
-.Sh BUGS
-The
-.Nm
-utility does not comprehensively search the file system for all files
-owned by the removed user and remove them; to do so on a system
-of any size is prohibitively slow and I/O intensive.
-It is also unable to remove symbolic links that were created by the
-user in
-.Pa /tmp
-or
-.Pa /var/tmp ,
-as symbolic links on
-.Bx 4.4
-file systems do not contain information
-as to who created them.
-Also, there may be other files created in
-.Pa /var/mail
-other than
-.Pa /var/mail/ Ns Ar username
-and
-.Pa /var/mail/.pop. Ns Ar username
-that are not owned by the removed user but should be removed.
-.Pp
-The
-.Nm
-utility has no knowledge of YP/NIS, and it operates only on the
-local password file.
