B.3 Post-Uninstallation Tasks

Uninstalling the Sentinel server does not remove the Sentinel Administrator User from the operating system. You must manually remove that user.

After you uninstall Sentinel, certain systems settings remain.These settings should be removed before performing a “clean” installation of Sentinel, particularly if the Sentinel uninstallation encountered errors.

To manually clean up the Sentinel system settings:

  1. Log in as root.

  2. Ensure that all Sentinel processes are stopped.

  3. Remove the contents of /opt/novell/sentinel or wherever the Sentinel software was installed.

  4. Make sure no one is logged in as the Sentinel Administrator operating system user (novell by default), then remove the user, the home directory, and the group.

    userdel -r novell

    groupdel novell

  5. Restart the operating system.
