You don't want to blindly remove their non sucs address from all the 
lists, as some of the lists are run for other societies, e.g. 
mountaineering.

Does ldap not do this for you when you delete the user?

Really not a fan of any script mutilating the sudoers file, and is there 
an automatable version of visudo to do it with anyway? Better 
alternative is to just check and notify the person running the script 
that they need to do it.

Otherwise sounds good.
There are various scripts round that do a lot of those bits already, but 
they are all in dire need of a rewrite, still probably a good starting 
point for how to go about the various things.
