I've uploaded my removeuser script (a Perl script) to ftp.cdrom.com's /pub/FreeBSD/incoming directory as removeuser2.tar.gz: ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/removeuser2.tar.gz Given a user ID, it will remove: the user's crontab any at jobs belonging to the user the user from any groups in /etc/group the user from the local password file (it has no idea what NIS is) the user's home directory the user's incoming mail file It comes with a short README file detailing the simple installation procedure and a man page. Future enhancements should include killing all the processes that belong to the user, among a couple of other suggestions I've received.
