Install sudo from the ports or packages collection; man sudo and man sudoers.

1) Using vipw, delete his line from the password file.

2) rm -r ~username.

3) rm /var/mail/username.

4) edit /etc/group and take out his group entry

You're done.

man stty.  Look especially uder "erase" (this is easiest if you use less 
as your pager, type / and then a string to search for that string, or ? 
and a string to search backwards).
