I am running SuSe Linux and my passwd file by default had a number of
entries such as:
man
ftp
amanda
cyrus
at
and many others. My question is - why do I have these? Why do I need
these? I am getting junk mail stored in /var/spool/mail in these account
names. Can I delete all these non existent users? or if for some reason it
is wise to have them in there can I block email - unknown user - to them?
What is the minimum user base that should be in passwd?
