Managing User Accounts
7.7 Maintaining User Accounts
When you run AUTHORIZE to remove a user’s UAF record, AUTHORIZE
also removes the user’s connections as a holder of identifiers in the rights
database. However, if a departed user is the only remaining holder of a given
identifier, remove that identifier to avoid future confusion. See the OpenVMS
Guide to System Security.
5. Remove the user’s disk quota entry from the disk quota file, if one existed,
with SYSMAN.
6. Remove associated mail information by entering the MAIL command
REMOVE username. (See the OpenVMS User’s Manual for more
information.)
The command procedure template in Example 7–3 deletes an account’s files.
Note
Do not execute this command procedure from a privileged account.
