Unable to delete the vyos user

[t3hburm]

Not sure if this is the correct category but I’m attempting to delete the vyos account. I’ve created an account called admin. I logged out of the vyos account and logged into the admin account, however, when I commit it gives me the following error:

Attempting to delete current user: vyos

[[system login]] failed
Commit failed

I am in fact logged in as admin and not vyos. I’ve tried rebooting and then deleting it but nothing seems to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is this what you did? Works for me on VyOS 1.5-rolling-202405060019

vyos@vyos-A# set system login user test
set system login user test authentication plaintext-password PASSWORD
vyos@vyos-A# commit
vyos@vyos-A# save
LOGOUT
LOGIN with new account

test@vyos-A:~$ set system login user vyos disable
test@vyos-A# commit
test@vyos-A# save

I did delete system login user vyos

Deleting is not an option per the op commands it’s to be disabled. Did you issue the linux command to userdel/deluser instead?

test@vyos-A# set system login user vyos
Possible completions:
 > authentication       Authentication settings
   disable              Disable instance
   full-name            Full name of the user (use quotes for names with spaces)
   home-directory       Home directory```

I misspoke it is an option and it seems to have worked for me:

test@vyos-A# delete system login user vyos
[edit]
test@vyos-A# commit
[edit]
test@vyos-A# save
[edit]
test@vyos-A#

test@vyos-A# show system login user
 user test {
     authentication {
         encrypted-password $6$rounds=656000$QAGTocaeTcoKOCiq$VA34e3ArTVk5Ac4rzl                                     8ttlG9moOzs9CwbCT1ZBsAGBDMomMaNFIWsjCzWQV2ihhMrCkG9/vvEJFX6LaWMR08V1
     }
 }

test@vyos-A#

Going the other way now and removing the test account I created:

vyos@vyos-A# delete system login user test
[edit]
vyos@vyos-A# commit
[ system login ]
test is logged in, forcing logout!

[edit]
vyos@vyos-A# save
[edit]
vyos@vyos-A#

I’m just going to redo the entire install and see if something weird happened. Thank you for your help

Looks like it is a bug in the newest version
