[LUNI] userdel, useradd madness

[Richard Reina]

I am having problems with userdel and useradd on my Centos master NIS server . If I do:

#:userdel kellie
and then:
#:useradd -u 515 kellie
I get:
useradd: user kellie exist.
Despite there being no entry for her in /etc/passwd, /etc/group, or /etc/shadow and no home directory for her.  Can anyone help me shed some light on this?

Thanks,

Richard
