As others have said, but I want to stress: don't users directly in the
DB.  Besides flags like Disabled, you'll also probably miss the acl
equivalence group, group membership records, cached group membership
records, etc.  Things will behave very poorly with that information
missing.  If you've already done this on a production system where you
can back out the changes, please run rt-validator which may be able to
fix some of the problems.
