It took me a while to find, but it looks like we have now dropped it. Before it was dropped the package was called FreeWnn: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/FreeWnn.git Here is the evidence that it did use the 'wnn' user & group (49.49): http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/FreeWnn.git/tree/FreeWnn.spec?id=5619304c4bf456a7b79ec19fef57b1812aa831e9#n59 For reference, in Debian & Wikipedia it's: https://packages.debian.org/sid/freewnn-jserver https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wnn > canna clearly does not need a static uid, and interestingly, it seems > to use dynamic allocation.
