Matt asked on the maintainer list: > - /etc/deluser.conf: DELUSER_SYS_ACTION = (lock*|delete) *default
After thinking about this, I think that delete should be the default in the beginning, but it should be easy to change (maybe even during the forky cycle). > - delgroup --system honors the above (lock == NOOP) Yes. That makes sense. > - basically: extends --lock to /etc/deluser.conf for system users I don't understand this part of the question. The intended result is: if DELUSER_SYS_ACTION = delete: behave as now: Account gone, --remove-*, --backup-* executed else: behave as if deluser --lock was called => usermod --lock Greetings Marc
