I noticed that after the install, although most of the ownership was root/wheel, that the user 'cpanel' kept popping up all over the place...

Is there a user 'cpanel', and if there is, can I log in as it?

Yes, there is a user setup called cpanel.

No, you cannot login as that user unless you setup a password for it.

Thanks

Thanks, that obviously answered my question.. :)

Is it recommended that I set the password for that user, or should I just leave it alone?
