I am running Server 5.0.15 on El Capitan 10.11.3. I looked at my list of users today and about 100 system user have been added that were not listed a few days ago. Are they safe or should I be worried and try to get rid of them.
A few examples are:
Unprivileged User
Unknown User
Unix to Unix Copy Protocol
TeamsServer
World Wide Web Server
The list goes on.
Mac mini (Late 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
Perhaps of more use is this screen shot that shoes some of the users that have recently 'appeared' on their own.
They did not appear on the own and these are critical system accounts. Do not delete them. If you do, you risk crippling your server. To hide them, simply:
1: Launch Server.app
2: Select Hide System Accounts from the View menu
These accounts exist to allow services to run in underprivileged mode. Don't delete or edit the accounts.

Thank you very much. Easy when you know how. I just wonder how that option got turned on in the first place.

Why have about 100 users been added to my server - all of which are of type system
