Which command is used to delete a user from the Samba database?

The command used to delete a user from the Samba database is pdbedit. This command is specifically designed to manage the Samba user database, allowing you to add, modify, or delete user accounts that are utilized for Samba services. When a user is removed using pdbedit, all Samba-related information for that user is effectively wiped from the Samba user database, ensuring that the user can no longer access shared resources.

In contrast, smbpasswd is used primarily to change a user's password within the Samba database, while userdel is a command for removing user accounts from the system's local user management, not specific to Samba. The net user command is typically used in a Windows environment to manage user accounts but does not directly interact with the Samba database for deletion purpose. Thus, pdbedit stands as the correct tool for managing Samba user accounts effectively.
