As part of the install of AIX the system creates the following groups which have no user accounts setup
mail, ecs, printq, perf, shutdown, kmem & nogroup
what would be the implications of removing these groups ?
Also our auditors (a hex upon them) are suggesting we should remove the sendmail function from our AIX platforms as the represent a security vulnerability
Has anyone any comments on this - and the best method to remove sendmail
