Wow that goes around the way...And that process is really only removing access and not the users files as well. Here is the normal & dirty version :)

Just:

userdel username
rm -rf /home/username

ps -aux | grep username

If any processes are running just kill -9 pid

EDIT:
Forgot to mention that if you were using a control panel and this user was being hosted -- as in webspace. You would need to also remove them from BIND and apache....Apache 1.3.x would be like:


nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
ctrl+w username

remove the whole vhost entry
ctrl+x - Y to save



nano /etc/named.conf
ctrl+w usersdomain.com
ctrl+x - Y to save

remove the domain


then if bind is not running chroot'd:

cd /var/named/
rm -rf usersdomain.com.db (normally)

This is optional and some control panels automatically create users as their own group... try:

groupdel username

This should fix you up.
