Look at the output of the following commands on OpenBSD:
Code:
$ cat /etc/passwd | grep www
www:*:67:67:HTTP Server:/var/www:/sbin/nologin
$ cat /etc/passwd | grep nobody
nobody:*32767:32767:Unpriviledged user for NFS:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin
$
As for the name of OpenBSD's default Web server, look at httpd(8).

Can you please show me an example of how you will use "www" and "nobody" to do something useful.
  • What resources should a Web server be able to access?
  • As for NFS, you might benefit from reading the FAQ's discussion on NFS in Section 6.7.
