Description David Lawrence 2002-07-24 18:55:08 UTC 
Description of Problem:
When removing a user from the system, currently it just does it without
confirmation. A dialog should pop up asking if you really want to delete the
user.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Milan-re0724.nightly
Comment 1 Mike McLean 2002-08-13 23:48:57 UTC 
We really ought to get this in.
Comment 2 Brent Fox 2002-08-16 21:56:44 UTC 
Sorry, there was no time for this release.  I will try to get this for the next
release.  Deferring for now.
Comment 3 Mike McLean 2003-01-16 02:11:42 UTC 
re-opening.
Comment 4 Mike McLean 2003-01-16 02:42:28 UTC 
It would be really nice to merge the fixes from bug 78620 and bug 78619 into a
single confirmation dialog with checkboxes for deleting the user's group (if
appropriate) and home directory.

Something like 
+---------------------------------------------+
|            DELETING user xxxxxx             |
+---------------------------------------------+
|    [  ]  Delete private group xxxxxx        |
|    [  ]  Delete home directory /home/xxxxxx |
|                                             |
|     +--------+         +----------+         |
|     | Cancel |         |  Delete  |         |
|     +--------+         +----------+         |
+---------------------------------------------+

Maybe with a little extra warning text.
Comment 5 Brent Fox 2003-01-31 21:47:04 UTC 
I think the behavior noted in bug #78620 should be acceptable.  Please reopen if
it is not.

Basically, it deletes the group if the user is the only user in that group.  It
does this automatically without the need for a dialog box, so the existing
dialog box about deleting the home directory should suffice. 
redhat-config-users-1.1.4-1 should have the new behavior.
Comment 7 Brent Fox 2003-06-02 20:01:02 UTC 
Try with redhat-config-users-1.1.9-1 and see if that is better.  Confirmation
dialogs should appear now on deleting users and groups.
Comment 8 David Lawrence 2004-02-02 18:17:20 UTC 
Verified, at least with RHEL 3 these changes are added.
