I'm sure this question has been asked and answered before, but I'd sure
appreciate some input on it. 

        Why does Red Hat create all these "standard" users like adm,
operator, gopher, sync, uucp, and so on? Can I safely delete these users as
I am being told to do in some Linux security HOWTOs? How can I tell whether
my system needs some of these users?
