hello,

I ran the 
#pkg_deinstall -vrR <package>

then I reboot and root no longer had a password, and my only user
'flipnode' was no longer a user.
Also, it seemed to delete the main .cshrc file.
Also, it seemed to delete or overwrite my /etc/fstab file.

Basically, I was trying to remove xfce-4 and everything for it, but
leave stuff/libs for other packages needing them. Only if other packages
were needing them.

What did I do wrong?

Bruce
