NethServer Version: 7.5.1804

(sorry for my bad english)
Why when i delete an user don’t delete the home dir?
I have delete an user but in /var/lib/nethserver/home i have the directory of the user with a number as an owner.
If i create another user with the same username nethserver don’t create another directory but use the directory of the old user with old permission and with the file of the old user but deny the access from the new user.

It’s a bug or a feature? :slight_smile:

Is it possible to add a notice for this? I work in a school and all year, in september, i delete the graduates student and add the new student. Sometime there is some homonym.

Hi Carlo, we’re discussing the user’s data deletion policy here: Change (or not) the user’s data deletion policy

We still didn’t decide what to do! Your issue is an interesting use case :wink:
