The username is removed 49from any groups to which it belongs in the file 50.Pa /etc/group . 51If a group becomes empty and the group name is the same as the username, 52the group is removed (this complements 53.Xr adduser 8 's 54per-user unique groups). 55.Pp 56.Nm rmuser 57politely refuses to remove users whose uid is 0 (typically root), since 58it seemed like a good idea at the time 59.Nm rmuser 60was written. 61.Pp 62.Nm rmuser 63shows the selected user's password file entry and asks for confirmation 64that you wish to remove the user.
