Return to lcuserdel CVS log

# /etc/passwd, /etc/groups, and /etc/smbpasswd.

# This script works under the same process control mechanism
# as lcuseradd and lcpasswd, to make sure that only one of these
# processes is running at any one time on the system.

# Standard input usage
# First line is USERNAME

# Yes, but be very careful here (don't pass shell commands)
