I've written a script in Perl that removes users from a system (removes
their /etc/master.passwd entry, rebuilds the password files & databases,
removes the user from any groups in /etc/group, removes the home directory
if the home directory is owned by the removed user, and removes the user's
incoming mail). It uses the same locking scheme as
/usr/bin/{passwd,chfn,chsh,chpass}, so it shouldn't corrupt passwd files.
Under basic testing, it seems to work OK on my 2.0.5 system. Anyone
willing to test it? If so, please let me know.
