Deleting unnecessary users/groups
In the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files there are 20+ entries, most of which I've never seen or used -- which ones can I safely delete?

If you created them yourself, you can delete them. Otherwise, some software wants them and you ought not to remove them.

Maybe. I dunno, it seems insecure to have a bunch of "extra" users (news, uucp, adm, etc.) on a computer that are there for no apparent reason.
