linux - Kurento Media Server automatically creates an extra account "kurento" on installation -


on installing kurento-media-server-6.0, automatically created account "kurento" , password still unknown. although not have sudo access, still unwanted user account security concern. on deleting user account, kurento-media-server not function , has reinstalled. significance of account or why account being created? screen shot of details

os: ubuntu 16.04.3 lts 64-bit

that how "service" applications work on ubuntu, , security feature. installation of application creates user used application , can have privileges limited application needs.

for example, apache uses www-data, nginx uses nginx (or www-data if install sources), postgresql uses postgres, mysql uses mysql, postfix mail server uses postfix, etc.

there's no reason security concern. password isn't "unknown" say, there invalid password -- meaning impossible log in account unless give ssh keys or use sudo -u (which administrators can anyway).

just leave account way is.
