Comments on Removing A User
Removing A User Employee turnover in most organizations runs high. So unless you run a small shop with a stable user base, you need to learn how to clean up after an employee leaves. Too many so-called system administrators do not understand the stakes involved when they manage users. Disgruntled former employees can often cause significant trouble for a company by gaining access to the network.

I'm not sure if all distro's use this but all the ones I administer do.

Very good article...

You can change the user's shell without editting the /etc/passwd file by hand, using "chsh -s /path/to/shell userid" (e.g., "chsh -s /dev/null bwilson"). Thanks for the list, there was one I had left out of my own user_delete script!

Thank you.
