So you mean system users (those with accounts in /etc/passwd) as opposed to virtual users (users that only exist in some service's user database). > Some are system users, necessary for the functioning of the default > minimal system, some are not. > Would be great having a command that would spit that out: AFAIK, there is no such command. However, users created by tools such as adduser start at UID 1000, so anything with a lower UID was either a default account created at install time or created by a software package, and should not be touched without good reason. > Can the root remove h[i,e][m,r]self from the system? Of course - just remove the entries from /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. However, I would strongly recommend you NOT do this (unless you want to cripple your system).
