The code I added to pw does this: if (mode == UPD_DELETE) rc = pwdb(NULL); else rc = pwdb("-u", user, NULL); This is because pkg_mkdb -u login when deleting 'login' didn't work for me.

rmuser rebuilds entire database for passwd with rmuser. On our system this takes about 5-10 minutes (ugh) Excuse the bug if its already been addressed Fix: change system('/usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb', '-p', ${new_passwd_file}); to system('/usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb', '-u', ${login_name}, '-p', ${new_passwd_file}); in /usr/sbin/rmuser How-To-Repeat: try rmuser
