Not that I foresee myself doing something like this any time soon, but I'm
curious...

What's the best way to determine what are "system" usernames and groups?

I'm guessing under Linux that there's a _fairly_ well-defined standard
that one can just look up in a book, ask here, or do a Google search for.

But there are so many weird permutations of "Unix" out there, that I bet
there's stuff that a newbie like me wouldn't recognize.


Somewhat-related, anyone got a good pointer to a web-page that explains
"wheel", what it's for, and where it came from?

Again, just out of curiosity, so consider this request "nice 19"ed ;^)
