I personally don't care one way or another... but FreeBSD comes with 20
users and 26 groups. Only user _pflogd and group _pflogd start with the
underscore.
And I had a student ask me about it in class since it looked strange.
(But I had seen it many times before, since OpenBSD has several users and
groups with _underscore.)
