I add in "*DISABLED*" to the beginning of the users name, makes it a little easier to find when enabling, or deleting, the account. Password fields are not messed with, so I don't have to go back & look up the account. The only downfall here, is that by changing the users name, all email for that individual gets bounced. Quick solution there, is to add in an entry to the /etc/mail/virtuserstable to fix that.
