in short:
'/sbin/e-smith/db accounts delete [username]' as root on the console, where username is the name of the deleted user.

Dunno if it is the same for [groupname]..

Please don't forget that when you perform a search on this site, there will be a link called 'show all results' below every searched section. Click it and mnay more results appear.

That only recovers from the situation. The reason for the breakage still needs to be investigated, and will be found in the log files.

It is.
