...YOU DO NOT REMOVE THE 501 USER OR ALTER IT IN ANYWAY!

And now, because this user has done so, we have the lovely job of backing all her data....which we shouldn't be doing anyway because she violated her admin rights contract.

Give me sympathy, before I kill something.

Actual problem MANY years ago:
"I wanted to login without a password, so I deleted the /etc/passwd file because they told me that's where my password was now my machine won't start."


Reported as:
"My machine is broken!"
