And as I feared, it went pear-shaped.

I gave the second user root privileges, and the logged in as that user.  I 
deleted the first user, but noticed that his $HOME had not been removed.  

I activated root as a 'normal' user, logged in as root and then tried

# rm -rf /export/home/john

I got 'device busy'.  Huh ??? 

I went down to init -1 and tried again on the console.  Same story.  

I now have a virtually unusable laptop sitting here, and if I have to 
reinstall, it's gonna *really* piss me off, as I don't have an external CD 
drive, and last time, the colleague who lent me his took ten days to 'remember' 
to bring it in, and I had to install OpenSolaris during my lunch break.

Could someone *please* tell me how to get rid of *ALL* users except root, and 
to have *NOTHING* in /export/home, so that I can create a user and start again? 
 

Or do I have to reinstall?
