well, perhaps take it as administrators job to clean up /etc/passwd from time to time if you install that many packages (because you as administrator know which users were co-used with someone else, and which not). But this is definitly not the most common scenario. Cheers, Andi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
