Hey All,
   Removing 'nobody' is not a good idea. Alot of 
programs depend on the user nobody to run their programs 
, especially redhat. For a user who is not sure of the 
function of a system login it would probably be better 
to grab some docs (pertaining to the system) and have a 
complete understanding of the user's function and 
responsibility.
