Package: adduser Version: 3.97 Severity: wishlist Hi,
I'd like to see deluser --system having a configuration option which would prevent an account from actually being deleted. That way, a local administrator could make sure that UIDs are not being re-used. If this option is enabled, deluser --system would set the shell to /bin/false and invalidate the password (I am not sure whether the password should be destroyed or invalidated in a reversible way). The default would, of course, be current behavior with actually deleting the account.
