Hi

As I said, I upgraded the setup package.  Having a look at the /etc/passwd and
/etc/group files, I wonder about why there are some users/groups in there.

In /etc/group, what do I need the groups qmail and djbdns for?  I don't plan
on using djbdns and qmail.  Further, why is there no group floppy anymore? 
Currently my /dev/fd0* are group owned by floppy - what group should own
these files?

In /etc/passwd, what do I need the users alias, qmail{d,l,p,q,r,s}, dnscache,
dnslog, tinydns and axfrdns for?  I assume that these are also qmail and
djbdns related users.  Why?  Also there are the users postgres, dhcpd,
named, nscd, apache, rpcuser, rpc and sympa - if I don't use any of these
servers, what good are these users?
