- Do the following steps:
-
- 1) Delete the entry from /etc/password
- 2) Delete the entry from /etc/auth/subsystems/dflt_users
- 3) Delete the file from /tcb/files/auth/?
- (ie: if you want "john" removed, the file is /tcb/files/auth/j/john)
- 4) Delete the home directory
- 5) Delete the cronjob (if applicable)
