# sync\_reset(8)

Account reset utility. DANGER.

 \*

## NAME

sync\_reset - Account reset utility. DANGER.

## SYNOPSIS

**sync\_reset** \[ **-C** *config-file* \] \[ **-v** \] \[ **-f** \]

## DESCRIPTION

*Sync\_reset* is a small utility program to destroy user accounts on a system.  The only safeguard which is in place is the obligary force option.

## OPTIONS

- **-C** *config-file*

  Read configuration options from *config-file*.

- **-v**

  Verbose mode.

- **-f**

  Force operation. Without this flag *sync\_reset* just bails out with an error.  Principally here to try and prevent accidents with command autorepeat.

## FILES

- **/etc/imapd.conf**

  ## SEE ALSO
