the command to remove a user is as follows. userdel -r username. the -r flag removes any files and directories relating to that user. hth On Wed, 27 Mar 2002, Igor Gueths wrote: > Hi. How can I delete a user account? I have several user accounts on this box that are no longer used. I tred adduser --remove user and that didn't work. Would anyone have any suggestions on this? Also, for some odd reason, /etc/rc.d seems to be nonexistent on my Debian box. I know it would be easy to edit rc.local to put in my shell script to load the alsa modules, but I don't have rc.d to begin with. I was looking at adding it in as part of the init process at boot time. Also, do I really need rc.d to begin with? If I create an /etc/rc.d/rc.local with some commands, which file (s) would I have to edit to have rc.local be read at start-up?
