Default passwd file entries

1999-03-11 Thread Justin Akehurst
I am trying to tighten the security on my linux box. I noticed a bunch of entries in my passwd file for things/users I don't even have, like a bunch for qmail, one for postgresql, etc... Why are these there, and are they a security risk? Would I do harm to remove the ones that I don't need? -J
