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 -width "Pa /etc/master.passwd" -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 at 1 , -.Xr chpass 1 , -.Xr crontab 1 , -.Xr finger 1 , -.Xr passwd 1 , -.Xr group 5 , -.Xr passwd 5 , -.Xr adduser 8 , -.Xr pw 8 , -.Xr pwd_mkdb 8 , -.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. |
