Adobe is withdrawing support for SVG as of Jan 2007.  In the  
meantime, we have made FF work.  See

000320.html

The  SVG plug-in for OS X (http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/)   
works well for Safari.

Deletion is not supported from the web UI.  However, there is a  
reasonable system admin tool available from the command line.  See:

This is an OS X system issue.  As always, Google is a great resource  
for this.  Here is what I found with "os x hiding users":

I haven't tried this, so can't vouch for this.  You might try it on a  
test accout first.

PostgreSQL (an independent project; http://www.postgresql.org) needs  
the postgres user; we can't change that
