Users on fresh CentOS install
Hi
On my fresh CentOS install in /etc/passwd I have such users:
root
bin
daemon
adm
lp
sync
shutdown
halt
mail
news
uucp
operator
games
gopher
ftp
dbus
vcsa
rpm
haldaemon
netdump
nscd
sshd
rpc
rpcuser
nfsnobody
mailnull
smmsp
pcap
named
mysql
cpanel
mailman
clamav
Which users (CentOS 4.4 + CPANEL) and how (what command) can be removed to secure box?

Just make sure you don't remove users your not sure about, many are for the system to operate properly.

If it is fresh box + cPanel.. it should be fine.. you don't have to remove anything...
