The discussion about this took place on -current before I did the commit.

"_" is a legal character in an user/groupname. Many people also stated that=
=20
they prefer "_<service>" as it makes things clear. I personally have no=20
strong opinion one way or the other, but it's noteable less work (for me)=20
when the username is the same as in OpenBSD.

I don't see how "_pflogd" is less understandable than "pflogd" and neither =
do=20
I see any complication.

=2D-=20
