Thanks for the input. I've seen users daemon, nobody and www in 
NetInfo, and already had a pretty good idea what they were for, I was 
just surprised at the sudden appearance of new friends in the Users 
panel, and somewhat amused by their names. As mentioned earlier, the 
users cannot be su'ed, since their shells are /dev/null.

Okay then. <grin> I guess I'll have to be a little more diligent with 
my "default-yes" trigger finger in the future.

Thanks everyone.
