NAME
       /etc/deluser.conf  - configuration file for deluser(8) and delgroup(8).

DESCRIPTION
       The  file  /etc/deluser.conf  contains  defaults   for   the   programs
       deluser(8) and delgroup(8).  Each option takes the form option = value.
       Double or single quotes are allowed around the  value.   Comment  lines
       must have a pound sign (#) in the first line.

       deluser(8) and delgroup(8) also read /etc/adduser.conf.

       The valid configuration options are:

       REMOVE_HOME
              Removes  the  home  directory  and  mail spool of the user to be
              removed.  Value may be 0 or 1.

       REMOVE_ALL_FILES
              Removes all files on the system owned by the user to be removed.
              If this option is activated REMOVE_HOME as no effect. Values may
              be 0 or 1.

       BACKUP If REMOVE_HOME or REMOVE_ALL_FILES is activated  all  files  are
              backuped  before  they are removed. The backup file that is cre-
              ated defaults to username.tar(.gz|.bz2) in the directory spefied
              by the BACKUP_TO option. The compression method is chosen to the
              best that is available.  Values may be 0 or 1.

       BACKUP_TO
              If BACKUP is activated, BACKUP_TO specifies  the  directory  the
              backup is written to. Default is the current directory.
