It WOULD be obvious that yes, system usernames ARE used.
However, APOP (specifically mentioned) cannot use a crypted passwd
(per the system) and must use a shared token. Thus the use of
popauth(8) to manage the APOP "passwords".
So for password pop, ftp and other system accounts, I'd use
native auth (or LDAP). APOP cannot use this. So I'll wait
for the next reply, thanks.
