There are tons of accounts and groups in /etc/passwd.and /etc/groups Several account I'd already know what they do, but some like "bin, sys, lp. .." How exactly they do good for system?
I've searched for google but couldn't identify the keywords daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/bin/sh bin:x:2:2:bin:/bin:/bin/sh sys:x:3:3:sys:/dev:/bin/sh sync:x:4:65534:sync:/bin:/bin/sync games:x:5:60:games:/usr/games:/bin/sh man:x:6:12:man:/var/cache/man:/bin/sh lp:x:7:7:lp:/var/spool/lpd:/bin/sh mail:x:8:8:mail:/var/mail:/bin/sh news:x:9:9:news:/var/spool/news:/bin/sh uucp:x:10:10:uucp:/var/spool/uucp:/bin/sh proxy:x:13:13:proxy:/bin:/bin/sh www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/var/www:/bin/sh backup:x:34:34:backup:/var/backups:/bin/sh list:x:38:38:Mailing List Manager:/var/list:/bin/sh irc:x:39:39:ircd:/var/run/ircd:/bin/sh gnats:x:41:41:Gnats Bug-Reporting System (admin):/var/lib/gnats:/bin/sh nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/nonexistent:/bin/sh libuuid:x:100:101::/var/lib/libuuid:/bin/sh Debian-exim:x:101:103::/var/spool/exim4:/bin/false statd:x:102:65534::/var/lib/nfs:/bin/false messagebus:x:103:106::/var/run/dbus:/bin/false avahi:x:104:107:Avahi mDNS daemon,,,:/var/run/avahi-daemon:/bin/false sshd:x:105:65534::/var/run/sshd:/usr/sbin/nologin saned:x:108:115::/home/saned:/bin/false penguin:x:1000:1000:Penguin,,,:/home/penguin:/bin/bash colord:x:106:117:colord colour management daemon,,,:/var/lib/colord:/bin/false usbmux:x:110:46:usbmux daemon,,,:/home/usbmux:/bin/false pulse:x:111:119:PulseAudio daemon,,,:/var/run/pulse:/bin/false rtkit:x:112:121:RealtimeKit,,,:/proc:/bin/false gdm:x:113:122:Gnome Display Manager:/var/lib/gdm:/bin/false Debian-gdm:x:114:123:Gnome Display Manager:/var/lib/gdm3:/bin/false -- Regards, Panguin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
