1. (optionally) backup their files
2. (oprionally) remove their files:
for i in /home /var /tmp
do
find $i -user USER -exec rm {}\;
done
3. remove the account:
vipw
(search for user's entry -- depends on which editor is defined in EDITOR, then
remove that line. saving the file remakes the database)
or
remove user's entry from /etc/master.passwd using awk and then run pwd_mkdb
to remake the database and /etc/passwd
--mark.
