I am migrating a system to RHEL 5 from Tru64 Unix. I noticed that there are a couple of users that are in the default /etc/passwd that match existing usernames; "gopher" and "sync". Is there any reason NOT to just delete the system accounts by those names and let the existing users have them?
The accounts are not actually active in RHEL as far as I can see, they are just pre-listed in /etc/passwd. I'm certainly not running a gopher server, so I can't imaging that one would be a problem. Is there really any reason to have a system user named "sync" (or is there anything that is going to treat that username as "special" if I let a regular user have it)? -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
