   I cleaning up various things now that my 9.7 -> 10.3 transition is
completed.  Today I was looking at the registry.  
   There are reserved accounts (Ref: Admin. the Domain/OS Registry, pg 2-7).
After comparing with my registry I have the following "extra" system
accounts:
   root.sys.none
   bin.mail.none
   root.bin.none
   user.server.none
   user.login.none
   root.backup.apollo
   sys_person.locksmith.none
   daemon_sr9.none.none

   My plan is to delete these accounts, but since I'm not a unix expert I
realize I could be shooting my foot off.  I just happened to notice
the account "user.server.none" is used by /etc/server so I'm wondering
how many more of this accounts are really reserved too.  Any comments?
   The book also says I can change the passwords for these system accounts
without affecting operations. True?

   All stations have Aegis and two have BSD/Aegis installed.

Thanks.
