Hi, just a minor thing. The userdel(8) usage and manual says the -p option only needs the preserve-value when -D is given. However, a "true" value seems to be required regardless:
# userdel -p josefine usage: userdel -D [-p preserve-value] userdel [-prv] user # grep josefine /etc/master.passwd josefine:$2a$06$DW[...]:1001:10::0:0::/home/josefine:/bin/ksh # userdel -p true josefine # grep josefine /etc/master.passwd josefine:*************:1001:10::0:0::/home/josefine:/sbin/nologin Not sure whether it's a documentation error or if the code in user.c is at fault. The above is from version 4.9 and I haven't found any changes in CVS since. Anyway, merry Christmas folks! -- Stefan
