Thanks to Heggli Beat and Matus Uhlar for the responses.
The answer to that is fairly simple. If you do an edquota on the old user and
set everything to zeroes, the user is removed. I tried this and it works. One
answer I received was a short script to remove all (in case you have many).
Here's the script:
#! /bin/csh
foreach i ( `repquota -v -a | nawk ' $1 ~ /^#/ { print $1 }' - | cut -c2-10` )
echo $i
edquota $i > /dev/null << EOF
:1,\$s/ [1-9][0-9]*/ 0/g
:wq!
EOF
end
It looks for entries starting with a "#", which are id's without a username.
Then it sets all the quotas to zero.
