The baselayout package creats a /etc/passwd with lots of accounts I will never use. Is there any justified reason for user ids squid, gdm, xfs, named, mysql, postgres, apache, nut, cyrus, vpopmail, qmaild, qmaill, qmailp, qmailq, qmailr, qmails, postfix, smmsp and guest to be on my system if the corresponding packages have not been installed? Note a lot of these users donot have entries in /etc/shadow for some reason. /etc/group is also cluttered up with unused groups corresponding to the above user ids. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
