speaking of expired accounts, it would really kick ass if you (generic
you, as in everyone on the list) unsubscribed before your account expired.
if i don't catch it quick i get a mailbox full of bounces that were
perfectly preventable.

processes too =).  which can be fun when nis fails and there are a ton
of non-root processes youre trying to sort out from uid's...but theres
no nis to do the mapping and unless you only have 3 uids total youre
screwed in differentiating without something like fuser or lsof to point
you to cwds for those procs in the hope that everyone runs out of their
homedir.

>archive/delete them. They could even add a new user with the same id
>(5807) and all the files you left would then be owned by the new user!

AFAIK, CS doesn't reuse uid's very often, and certainly will make sure
your files are gone before they do =)
