bible$ sudo egrep test /var/backups/passwd.bak
bible$
Hmmm, I should have done this sooner as I can't see backup with the user
tester in it.
I just tried a user 'test':
bible$ sudo adduser test
Adding user `test'...
Adding new group `test' (1006).
Adding new user `test' (1006) with group `test'.
Creating home directory `/home/test'.
Copying files from `/etc/skel'
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
Changing the user information for test
Enter the new value, or press ENTER for the default
Full Name []: test
Room Number []:
Work Phone []:
Home Phone []:
Other []:
Is the information correct? [y/N] y
bible$ sudo deluser --remove-all-files test
Looking for files to backup/remove...
Can't opendir(/proc/9908/task): No such file or directory
at /usr/sbin/deluser line 283
Can't opendir(/proc/29082/task): No such file or directory
at /usr/sbin/deluser line 283
Removing files...
Removing user `test'...
done.
Best wishes,
