Subject: Removing a user.
How is it done? I had created a user and decided later that I wanted it t=
o be=20
in another location so I dragged the users directory to the garbage gin a=
s su=20
and:

[root@localhost bmike1]# adduser -m test -d /home2
adduser: user test exists

so I decided a new nane wasa in order because it would not accept 'test'.

[root@localhost bmike1]# adduser -m Downloadtest -d /home3

and I thought "Better make sure it is where I want it.

[root@localhost bmike1]# updatedb
locate [root@localhost bmike1]# locate Downloadtest
/var/spool/mail/Downloadtest

Why didn't it go to /home3?
--=20

also how do I make it so I can create a user named 'test'? is that the sa=
me=20
process as removing the user 'Downloadtest'>??
