--- Comment #1 from Graham Perrin <grahamperrin@freebsd.org> ---
If a person has the expertise to intentionally remove a user that's normall=
y a
part of FreeBSD, I should expect the person to be prepared for reintroducti=
on
of the user as part of a normal freebsd-update routine.=20

<https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Dfreebsd-update&sektion=3D8&man=
path=3Dfreebsd-release>

Re: remnants following use of freebsd-update, I'm surprised that the FreeBSD
Handbook does not describe what to do =E2=80=93 during an update =E2=80=93 =
when the user is
presented with things such as this:=20
