Problem with deleting these accounts is that some forsaken Solaris activities, such as patching, still might need them. I usually leave the accounts and put this shell on them: /sbin/noshell

I would like to delete these files, but the administrator is not very familiar with Solaris and doesn't know if the O/S needs the associated files or not. Does anyone know if those files are still in use even though the file's owner accounts have been deleted? Thank You in Advance, Jeff
