userdel is giving the following error:
userdel: Two entries with the same group name but different GID's were found
The command I am using is: userdel -R -x distributed=1 username
userdel exits with a value of 255, which is not one of the values listed
in the man page.
I've looked at /etc/group and /var/yp/src/group, and there is no instance of
a group name having two GIDs. There are 4 groups that exist in both
/etc/group
and /var/yp/src/group, but they have the same GID. I removed the local
group
entries, remade the NIS maps, and tried the command again with the same
result. The user I want to delete is not in any of those 4 groups. I have
since readded the 4 entries to /etc/group, as those entries are there for
the
admins in case NIS goes down.
C2 and NIS are being used, and I am running the command on the NIS master.
The
account is an NIS account, and there is no local auth.db entry. I created a
test
account and set it up the same way that the account I want to delete is set
up, and tried to delete the test account as noted above, and I get the same
error.
I'm running 4.0D. Any ideas?
