Hi list, We are using postfix with system user authentication, I have to completely remove an user for the system so he couldn't auth to send e-mails. Some coworkers told to just remove the lines from /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd... I did that but the user still can authenticate. using "pw user show XXX" returns that still have a register from the user XXX but trying the "pw user del XXX" it says there is no such user.. I tried rmuser and here is the return: # rmuser XXX Matching password entry: XXX:*:20887:1014::0:0:XXXXX XXXXX:/home/XXX:/nonexistent Is this the entry you wish to remove? y Remove user's home directory (/home/XXXX)? y Removing user (XXX): home passwdpw: user 'XXX' does not exist: No such file or directory There is any other thing that I can do to completely remove this user? It's urgent 'cos it's sending a lot of spam mails :( and our server administrator is on vacation :/ Thank you.
