My understanding is that the work flow is:
1. Do fab cleanup actions as us...@host
2. do admin tasks as ad...@host
I think the problem is coming because via the connection cache there is
still connection and process owned by the UID Brett is trying to delete. Is
there an easy way to force close a connection?
There will of course be a problem with part 2 if it is being done with a
sudo() call, since that is the equivelent of sudo rmuser me. (which fails)
