Statically linked programs can be useful if you are building a minimal system
and don't want dependencies on shared libraries.  In general, you don't need
them.

These users/groups are used by the scripts that start the daemons.  If they
are empty, then the daemons run as the user that runs the script (usually
root).  It is a security issue really -- some sysadmins want to run daemons as
non-root to give them fewer privileges.
