Hi folks.

And another question for the next meeting, this time about the use of userdel and groupdel in scripts after removal of a package.

I suspect for users/groups in the 1-100 uid/gid range this is not a problem, but removing any users or groups that were added without a specific uid or gid can be a security issue as those ids might get reused for accounts that were added later.

And for the 1-100 uid/gid range what is the use of removing it?

IMO userdel/groupdel should never, ever be used.
