Brent,

Try "userdel(1M)".

Re: user removal script

As the previous answer noted, "userdel login" will remove the user. The -r option will remove the home directory, but will not deal with any other files that the user owned.

A find command would locate any files that the user owned and you could then handle them as needed. Something like "find ./ -user login"
