Return to lcuserdel CVS log

Up to [LON-CAPA] / loncom

fixing up exit code documentation for lcpasswd and lcuserdel.  lcuseradd
useradd system call syntax still incorrect here.  I'm putting in more
of the setuid handling code. -Scott

# This script is a setuid script (chmod 6755) that should
# be run by user 'www'.  It DOES NOT delete directories.
# All it does is remove a user's entries from
# /etc/passwd, /etc/groups, and /etc/smbpasswd.
# It also disables user directory access by making the directory
# to be owned by user=www (as opposed to the former "username").
# This command only returns an error if it is
# invoked incorrectly (by passing bad command-line arguments, etc).

# 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

# Command-line arguments [USERNAME]
# Yes, but be very careful here (don't pass shell commands)
# and this is only supported to allow perl-system calls.

# Usage within code
