I would to remove an account. How do I do it?
"userdel" just changes it to retired:
# grep barney /etc/passwd
barney:Retired*:40000:15::/usr/users/barney:/bin/sh
and then:
So this user is now retired, but I want to get rid of it.
This account was not meant to be!
"man userdel" does not mention retired, nor does "apropos retired"
find anything.
I guess this means each time I run useradd to test a feature,
I am stuck with that account forever. Sounds bad.
What about vipw? Is that really unsafe? We are at C2 security.
