Sorry, I hate to say this, but I realized that killall returns nonzero
if there are no processes running by that user name. So this warning is
going to look wrong if we run the userdel command on a system where the
user isn't logged in. I withdraw my request for this warning.

Also, we probably need to do 'killall -9' rather than simply killall, as
SIGTERM doesn't terminate shell processes (which are the most important
ones to kill if we need to kick a user)
