Hi,

i am using version 2.1.5 and i found a little problem when deleting
a user from my host. After deleting the line in /etc/passwd and
/etc/master.passwd the user still exists and the logging in was
accepted. Still after a reboot the user was 'living' but NO
corresponding line in the password file. After deleting the
backuped file(s) the user was deleted. Is this correct?

Thanks, N. Grundmann
