I'm setting up a new 3.3 system to be a dual-homed router/firewall. It will only be running ssh2, ipfw, etc. What default accounts can I safely remove to tighten security? toor, daemon, operator, bin, tty, kmem, games, news, man, bind, ucp, xten, pop, nobody I'm thinking that probably toor, games, news, bind, ucp, and pop can go. I'm also thinking daemon, operator, and man cannot. But I'm not certain. Can someone enlighten me about all of them? Thanks. ----------------------- Scott I.
