The options which apply to the userdel command are:
-f, --force
Note: This option is dangerous and may leave your system in an inconsistent state.
-h, --help
-r, --remove
The mail spool is defined by the MAIL_DIR variable in the login.defs file.
-R, --root CHROOT_DIR
-P, --prefix PREFIX_DIR
-Z, --selinux-user
The following configuration variables in /etc/login.defs change the behavior of this tool:
MAIL_DIR (string)
MAIL_FILE (string)
The MAIL_DIR and MAIL_FILE variables are used by useradd, usermod, and userdel to create, move, or delete the user's mail spool.
If MAIL_CHECK_ENAB is set to yes, they are also used to define the MAIL environment variable.
MAX_MEMBERS_PER_GROUP (number)
Il valore predefinito è 0, che non pone nessun limite al numero di membri per gruppo.
Questa opzione (dividi gruppo) permette di limitare la lunghezza delle righe nel file «group». Questo è utile per essere certi che le righe per gruppi NIS non eccedano i 1024 caratteri.
Se si deve impostare questo limite, si può usare 25.
Nota: la divisione dei gruppi potrebbe non essere supportata da ogni strumento (anche all'interno del pacchetto Shadow). Non si dovrebbe utilizzare questa variabile a meno di esserci forzati.
USERDEL_CMD (string)
Il codice d'uscita restituito dallo script non è preso in considerazione.
Here is an example script, which removes the user's cron, at and print jobs:
#! /bin/sh # Check for the required argument. if [ $# != 1 ]; then echo "Usage: $0 username" exit 1 fi # Remove cron jobs. crontab -r -u $1 # Remove at jobs. # Note that it will remove any jobs owned by the same UID, # even if it was shared by a different username. AT_SPOOL_DIR=/var/spool/cron/atjobs find $AT_SPOOL_DIR -name "[^.]*" -type f -user $1 -delete \; # Remove print jobs. lprm $1 # All done. exit 0
USERGROUPS_ENAB (boolean)
If set to yes, userdel will remove the user's group if it contains no more members, and useradd will create by default a group with the name of the user.
/etc/group
/etc/login.defs
/etc/passwd
/etc/shadow
/etc/subgid
/etc/subuid
The userdel command exits with the following values:
0
1
2
6
8
10
12
userdel will not allow you to remove an account if there are running processes which belong to this account. In that case, you may have to kill those processes or lock the user's password or account and remove the account later. The -f option can force the deletion of this account.
Occorre controllare manualmente tutti i file system per assicurarsi che non rimanga nessun file di proprietà di questo utente.
Non è possibile rimuovere nessun attributo NIS su un client NIS. Questo deve essere fatto sul server NIS.
If USERGROUPS_ENAB is defined to yes in /etc/login.defs, userdel will delete the group with the same name as the user. To avoid inconsistencies in the passwd and group databases, userdel will check that this group is not used as a primary group for another user, and will just warn without deleting the group otherwise. The -f option can force the deletion of this group.
