The CentOS varnish installation makes a varnish user, I would assume
it'd be the same on every platform.

Excerpts from eric schefter's message of 2013-01-10 11:17:51 -0800:
Derar usres,
I'm running OS X 10.6.8
I installed Bitnami, and then uninstalled it.
One day later, a new user account appeared on my Mac with the name varnish.
Is it possible that that account was somehow created by the BitNami
installation?
I'm worried that I've been hacked, and can't find any info on this.
Thank you for your help.
Eric
BitNami includes an installer for Varnish[0]. If you installed, say,
Wordpress[1] or Rails[2], you would've gotten Varnish installed as well as
other stack components.
I can think of no reason why anyone maliciously accessing your machine would
install Varnish on it.
HTH,

Thank you for the links.
I can find no information that says that a user account would be created automatically
with the name "varnish", and without the administrator's (my) knowledege. In
addition, Bitnami and Wordpress state that varnish is disabled by default, and I didn't
enable it.
I did install Wordpress as well.
Sorry to ask the question again in a different manner:
Does varnish create a new user account in os x 10.6.8 (when enabled) which one
sees when logging into the computer?
If not, I can only think that I'm dealing with another source of this
mysterious user account (hacker or other software).
Thank you so much for your time,
Sincerely,
Eric
