Is there any script or program to > do that? There is a reason why many commercial unix systems never _delete_ users -- they can only be disabled. (This comes in part from an Orange Book requirement that old resources be sufficiently 'cleaned' before being given to a new user, and finding all files owned by the old user is harder than simply giving the new user a different UID.) usermod(8)'s -L flag comes close to doing what you'd like. Or, if you're _positive_ that the only resources used by the old user are files on the local system, you could use find(1)'s -uid option. -- Sniff you jerks later. -- Captain Murphy
