Hello all, I have read some document about server hardening. It suggests me removing the following users: operator, games, news, uucp and following groups: operator, staff I can guess that games is used for playing and news is used for reading news in news group. How about the other? Their descriptions in passwd are not clear. Am I safe to remove them in normal server environment (web, mail, ftp, DNS, SSH)? Thanks meimi http://www.htmlcss.com
