Thanks to all of you who responded to my need to remove many
login accounts in one operation. Our need was to remove several
student accounts from the server at the close of our college
semesters.

The results were very similar in that you copy and modify the
'removeuser' script to remove prompting and accept a user name
to be passed to it. This modified version of removeuser is called
from a small script that contains a 'while' loop.

I was reminded to backup the system before running the scripts.

Anyone wanting a copy of the scripts that we are using, feel free to
write to me at rogerguy_at_aquinas.edu

Thanks again for everyones help.
