>Description:
	userdel -r foobar does not work as it should.
>How-To-Repeat:
copied from xterm:
--
bash-2.03# useradd -m foobar
bash-2.03# userdel -r foobar
userdel: can't open /etc/master.passwd': Permission denied
XXX: /bin/rm -rf /home/foobar > /dev/null 2>&1 || truebash-2.03# 
bash-2.03# ls -l /etc/master.passwd 
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  889 Nov 13 21:53 /etc/master.passwd
bash-2.03# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel)
groups=0(wheel),2(kmem),3(sys),4(tty),5(operator),20(staff),31(guest)

>Fix:
	Well, you can always use this combination:
	# userdel foobar
	# rm -r /home/foobar
