While investigating another problem, I foolishly deleted the user "nobody" in the terminal. Should I recreate it, or not bother? If yes, what are the other account details for "nobody" please?
Mac mini (Late 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Restore the directory /var/db/dslocal from the backup you made before carrying out this strange experiment, or from the file dslocal-backup.xar in the parent directory. Then reboot.

Thanks for the help :-)
