if you don't want people to be able to log in as those, or su to
those, than you can change their shelss to /dev/null..
operator is the only one I can think of which might have an excuse to have a
valid shell...

xscreensaver does have some code in it to find passowrds, though none
of it has been made netbsd specific. Make sure you have your encrypted
password stored in /etc/master.passwd, and I think that will be enough (i.e.
not a *).

if it isn't, tell me, and I'll try to fix xscreensaver...
