Deleting user from Fedora - error
A Mate now MIA - crated a test Samba on Fedora for me.
One of the shares refers to @public (everyone is a member of this as its a public viewable folder)
Ive pasted a copy of passwd file below this
Error message.
I couldn't find the numerical ID of the user 'guest4'.
In most cases this is caused by inconsistencies in the user or group database, e.g. between the files /etc/passwd, /etc/group and their respective shadow files /etc/shadow and /etc/gshadow. I will try to ignore these entries and continue for now, but please fix these inconsistencies as soon as possible

guest2:x:519:520::/home/gu est2:/bin/ bash
guest3:x:520:523::/home/gu est3:/bin/ bash
I want to delete guest1 / 2/ /3 and Im struggling to get rid of guest4.
Ive removed guest 4 from this and saved.
Ive logged in/out as well.
What else to do? Will a reboot help?
