I think you misunderstood; on my Tru64 system, "sync" and "gopher" are
regular user accounts (belonging to a couple of paying customers).  I
need to delete the Linux default system accounts so I can create regular
user accounts (different groups, much higher UIDs, etc.).

I find it odd that there are still legacy-named accounts, especially
those that AFAIK aren't actually usable.  For example, there's a
"shutdown" user; even if you give that user a password, I don't think it
actually will shut the system down (it is a non-root account, and it
just calls "shutdown" with no arguments, which IIRC doesn't work).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
