I was checking the users in my unix box. Some old users where created by the previous administrator. When i tried to delete from the smc it was throwing error, “The account is mandatory, cant be deleted”.
So, There is a workaround.
1. remove the entry from the passwd file # vi /etc/passwd
2. #pwconv
3. cat /etc/shadow
