Re: pegasus user name

That may be a UID for an application. Have you installed some software that needs to run as user pegasus? It isn't allowed to login, /sbin/noligin, so I suspect some software has created the account. Look to see what is in /var/lib/Pegasus, that may provide another clue.

pppuse have 1001:1001 GID and PID
(pppuser:x:1001:1001:,,,:/home/pppuser:/usr/sbin/ppplogin)
and nfsnobody hav 4294967294:4294967294 GID and PID
(nfsnobody:x:4294967294:4294967294:Anonymous NFS
User:/var/lib/nfs:/sbin/nologin)
Both user are system user then why they take more then 500 GID / UID ?

Please tell me the reason
