RE: Solaris 10 necessary file question

Problem with deleting these accounts is that some forsaken Solaris
activities, such as patching, still might need them.  I usually leave
the accounts and put this shell on them:  /sbin/noshell

Subject: Solaris 10 necessary file question

We removed the following default accounts in Solaris 10: lp, smmsp, www,
uucp, nuccp, however the files owned by these accounts still exist.  I
would like to delete these files, but the administrator is not very
familiar with Solaris and doesn't know if the O/S needs the associated
files or not. Does anyone know if those files are still in use even
though the file's owner accounts have been deleted?

Thank You in Advance,
Jeff
