"jonas" is (was?) the userid/group for the OW2 Consortioum Java EE Application Server, JOnAS.


I'm going to guess that wnn is related to the Japanese input method of
the same name.  (canna, also a Japanese input method, has its own
static uid & gid registered too).  Both packages run daemons in the
background.

I'm also going to guess that vcsa is something to do with the
/dev/vcs* virtual console devices, although if that's the case then
the group is no longer used.
