anyone tested this patch?  As it has the potential for data loss and no one has

Summary:  Home directory not deleted when deleting user

Original Submission:  When I delete a user, its home directory in filesystem is 
not really deleted, even selecting "Delete All Records". Worse, If  a create a 
new user with same login of previous one (i.e.: I recreate it), it no longer 
has access to its home.

Hi,

I played with this bug, and found the problem.  I am reluctant to allow phpgw 
to delete all files owned by that user, we need better options to allow that.  
Some users could lose files.  As an alternative, I have fixed the 
hook_deleteaccount to remove all journal entries owned by that user.  This 
should fix the problem.  A sysadmin will still need to remove the home dir and 
its contents if they want to remove the user's files.

Recreating a user with the same login will now allow the new user access to the 
old home dir, so if a user is accidentially deleted the files will still be 
there, but the rest of their phpgw data will be gone.

The attached patch is a CVS RCS diff, download it to your home directory.  Then 
it can be applied with the following commands:
cd /path/to/phpgroupware/filemanager/inc/
patch -p0 <~/file-hook_delete.diff

Then test it and report back here.  Only test this on a non vital install, if 
something goes wrong vfs entries may be lost.

Cheers
