Removing a user account from AIX
permalink
Hello, Does anyone know of a way, that whenever you remove a user account via "smit rmuser" or # rmuser to have the operation also remove the "home directory" associated with that account? Other "Unices" have this functionality but I have yet to see if it is incorporated into AIX.
Thanks very much.

Thanks very much Steve. I did'nt realize that "userdel" did indeed exist on AIX. There was no manpage associated with the command. But it is there.
Thanks for the info.
