Does anyone have a bundle or set of promises for deleting a local Unix account? I'm thinking about how to approach this cleanly, including removing the user from any groups in /etc/group. I thought about using systems' native commands (e.g. userdel, passmgmt, pwck, pwconv, etc.) but there can be odd cases, such as half-deleted accounts (only in /etc/shadow for example) that the native commands won't clean up. It could have an option, as well, for deleting the accounts' home directories, also depending on whether they're local or NFS. What else am I forgetting?
I can work on this on my own once I have the time (working on my Nova upgrade and initial policy finalization right now), but I think something like this, if someone already has a good starting point, would be a great candidate for the COPBL or at least a Cfengine cookbook like Neil's. Hmm, I sense an O'reilly book here... :) Thanks, Justin -- Justin C.
