Re: [cobalt-users] No user in gui interface and need to delete user from system

["John D. Gorena" <Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

1) I must have missed a file because after I made a backup copy of the files that you listed below
and removed the references to that invalid USer... I then ran the meta-verify file with the -v and
-f options, it said that it removed that user name after if found the error.  It was listed as a "db
user".  Where would the "db user" be listed?

2) Though I do not have a problem that I know of,  the meta-verify program also listed 2 other users
(stew & mysql) as invalid but did not say it fixed them.

For the invalid users, it listed
      | ERROR (entry does not exist in database)
      | retrieving information from system...
      | ERROR (invalid home directory)
      | ERROR (does not exist in system)
      | ERROR (entry not in database OR system)

The stew and mysql are listed as directories under /home/   . . .   Since I got this server 'used',
what is important in stew?
