Pointers on how to manually delete dhcpd user and group

Running the update generates a message that you should manually delete the dhcpd user and group, but they aren't normal entities apparently.

Does anyone have a pointer on docs to do this?

Google-fu doesn't help much, it doesn't understand the context, and Brave isn't much better.

There's no real need to do that.  It's only a FreeBSD ports message.

If you really want to, just do  "rmuser dhcpd" as root in a ssh session. It will remove the user and group. I did it, worke fine, no issues.

Thank you for the replies!
