OK, Hello..

I have a FreeBSD box an I created a bunch of users and after I deleted
them they still have access to the system.. i've removed them from the
passwd file. I also did a 'vipw' and removed them from there.. I
deleted all home diectories pertaining to thes users... i've also tried
the rmuser command but when I get to the end is says that 'user dosn't
exist,no such file or diectory'... if that is so why can they still log
on????

Cheers
Shane
