There is no current way. In general, it's a complex thing with questions like: * How would you know on what system(s) to delete the directory? With NFS this is an easier answer. * Do you care what is in those directories prior to automatic deletion? What if it holds the only copy of something? * What if by hook or by crook someone sets their home directory to /? * The IPA API runs as the ipaapi user so it wouldn't be an appropriate way to do the removal as it would require elevating permissions which is asking for trouble. rob _______________________________________________ FreeIPA-users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedorahosted.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
