The manpage also gives no > indication that this will happen. deluser is a front-end for userdel here, which is responsible for deleting the group: [25/[EMAIL PROTECTED] sid]:~$ grep monkey /etc/group monkey:x:1002: [26/[EMAIL PROTECTED] sid]:~$ sudo userdel monkey [27/[EMAIL PROTECTED] sid]:~$ grep monkey /etc/group [28/[EMAIL PROTECTED] sid]:~$ I am reassigning appropriately.
