I've been using NetBSD 2.0 for a few months, and just configured kdm so
that I can log-in graphically. When I did so, I noticed two other users
- "nobody" and "cyrus" - listed on the display.
I'm not that concerned about "nobody", but what/who is "cyrus"? I
haven't added any other users to the system. Cyrus' "Full Name"
according to kusers begins with instmp. Is this a user needed for the
system, or has my system been compromised (I configured my own ipf
firewall based on an example from the FreeBSD handbook, and haven't felt
100% comfortable with my work).
I'd like to delete "cyrus" but don't want to muck things up.
