Earlier, I did try to kill all processes run by that user manually using ps -uax | grep username and then just kill -9 pid Now, 'w' and 'ps -uax' does not show the user at all, but 'who' shows that the user is currently log in. 'userdel' still fails with messagge: user username is currently log in /dev/pts/12 does not exist. Any help? Thanks. RDB > -----Original Message----- > From: Reuben D.
