Agreed. Daemons are like users without bodies. They need unique names. I can see undesired consequences of, for example, forcing every server package in net-ftp to run as the user 'ftp'. If you really want to get freaky with the idea though, the usernames assigned to daemons should be locally configurable. Think this one is worthy of a GLEP? -- Batou: Hey, Major...
