You  cannot do  a FOR  on a  nonexistent userid,  mostly to  avoid finger
checks. The  proper procedure is  not to do a  FOR SIGNOFF, which  if you
have N users means N requests  propagated through the network, but submit
a DELETE * (NETWIDE job:
 
DEL * DD=X (NETWIDE
//X DD *
user1@node1
user2@node2
etc
