you can first check if some files have a group id of joseph (501) with
this command:
find / -group joseph
if some filenames are listed then you will have to use chgrp on them to
give them to some other group of your choice.
then you may erase the line containing 'joseph' in /etc/group.
if you have already erased the line, and i recommend you do that
sometimes just to check your system, the command
find / -nogroup
and
find / -nouser
will list the files that belong to nobody (or no group).

Objet: Help with /etc/group
Hi,
I looked at my /etc/group and I noticed that there was a user there that
I had deleted using 'deluser' quite some time ago. Here's what it looks
like:
8<--snip---
harold:x:500:
joseph:x:501:
moonlit:x:502:
---snip--->8
The user I deleted is joseph. Is it safe for me to just delete his entry
there? Will it affect the GID or something?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
- Harold.
