I am not running uucp, and I don't have squid, bind, mysql, postgres,
apache, nut, cyrus (what is it?), vpopmail, alias (what is it?), qmail,
postfix, or smmsp installed. I grab my inbound email via POP, and push
my outbound email via ssmtp to my ISP's MTA. I *HOPE* I'm not running
any publicly visible servers. My machine sits behind a NATing
router-cum-ADSL-modem, and iptables rejects all externally-initiated
connections, and blocks all traffic coming and going to/from my ports
0..1023 excepting to/from lo.
All the distro I knew distribuite a pre-filled /etc/passwd and
/etc/group , it can be used for reference and also to be help when you
create a tarball that must be moved on a different machine with the same
distro. This because in a tarball the numerical uid are saved rather the
user names. (i.e. is not goot to have portage with uid 100 on a box and
mysql with the same uid 100 on another box)
short answer don't worry, it's ok ;)
