I found out about this one with my daily report which sent a list of users with ID#0(Root access). The first was toor, said something about a bourne shell login. Next (didnt have a ID#0) was xten. What are these used for? I know the uses of ones like daemon, UUCP, etc. But those confused me, and I dont like having anybody with root access except for root. I also do not want a 'games' user, will the system do anything weird if I delete that default user? Thanks again.
