I have the same issue. In a school environment with LDAP authentication on the LTSP server. Every 3 months we change students in the lab. Each time they log in it creates an entry for them and then when they leave we can't delete them.
Have a lightdm screen with 50+ names on it. Awesome. deluser will not remove them because they are not found in the /etc/passwd file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988072 Title: Can't remove user if they're not in /etc/passwd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/988072/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
