How critical is it for the system to delete the nobody user?
Being on the first steps of studying *nix -s, in a fit of research paranoia, I found the
user nobody in the passwd. I was in a hurry and before I knew that this was a harmless *nix autouser with minimal access rights to open and examine suspicious codes, I demolished this user with the userdel -f command
Question: how critical is it for the system to delete nobody and should I add it immediately Or can I live without it until I need to work with suspicious codes? Does the absence of nobody somehow affect the security of the system on the network?
