 Posted: Fri Feb 24, 2006 4:37 pm Post subject: How to Delete User "portage" from login screen ? |
 |
|
Because I've install gentoo on my External hardware, so I uninstall gentoo Portage for MacOSX.
But after I uninstall gentoo portage, the User named Portage always on my MacOSX login screen.
Is there anyway can let me delete this user ? I really dislike this inexistent user on my login screen ~
Thank you !  |

Since you've uninstalled portage, you should be able to simply remove this user from "/etc/passwd" as well its group "/etc/group".
Each user (each group respectively) gots a separate line in "/etc/passwd" ("/etc/group" respectively), so you've just to remove these line and the user (group) no longer exist on your system.

"find" and "grep" are nice tools you can use for such purpose:
| Code: |
$ find / -type f -exec grep -H portage {} \;
|
find - Tool to search files, ...
"/" - Tells the find commando to start its search at the root directory
-type f - Tells find to only search for regular files (Directories, block devices (under "/dev"), ... are omitted)
-exec grep ... - Tells find to execute "grep" on each found file.

| You should run NetInfo Manager, which is in Applications/Utilities folder and from there remove group portage and user portage. |
