There are several kernel user IDs. These are:

daemon bin sys adm uucp lp nuucp hpdb

and should not be modified. They are required for normal kernel operation. Changing or removing any of these UIDs will result in an unstable system with unpredictable problems.

Yes Bill,
Thank for the info. But I need to know the different between these 2 groups.
