When trying to delete an account on a trusted system running 11.11 a message stating "Login currently in use" is returned. Have tried with both SAM and command line using 'userdel -r loginname'. User has not logged in for several months and the system has been rebooted numerous times over the last month. Any ideas on what might be causing this and how to get around it? I know the recommendation is to disable the account instead of removing it, but we would like to get it deleted.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Deleting account on trusted system
As Dennis mentioned, you may have two logins with the same UID. Use this command
logins -d
to verify that there are no duplicate UIDs.
Check that there are no processes running as this user:
ps -f -u username
You may have cron jobs or other jobs that use su or other run-as tools like sudo that are running as this user.

Re: Deleting account on trusted system
Who does not show the user logged in. Have not checked for duplicate UIDs but will. I don't have access to the server right now, but will check to see if the user may have some processes running under su.
