Some packages (e.g. MySQL, PostgreSQL) need their own users to run (for

Most should, ones that need passwd and therefore install it probably 
won't. I have no idea why gnome-libs is depending on passwd. I really 
don't think it should.

What? It probably isn't wise to delete them via the Users pane because 
System Preferences is idiotic. I don't know what you're talking about 
with your Admin account, you just seem to be talking nonsense.
