Hm. This will leave a lot of files on the disk. If the home directory isn't deleted by wlus, we need to have procedures for packing up and removing the home directories after a while. I intended that to be left for cerebrum with its multi-stage account removal, and that wlus should just remove the home directory and mail spool when a user was deleted. After all, if this isn't intended, the account should be closed. Is this a bad idea? If the home directories and mail spools of deleted users are left on the disk, we need to have script to remove them when they are getting too old to keep. At the very least, we should move the home directories of deleted users into a special directory, to make it easier to process them. > the home directory is not removed, it is made inaccessable, wating > for a proper user-cleanup and deletion with cerebrum. Oh. I suspect disks will fill up before schools actually implement Cerebrum on them.
