Default passwd file entries



I am trying to tighten the security on my linux box.  I noticed a bunch of
entries in my passwd file for things/users I don't even have, like a bunch
for qmail, one for postgresql, etc...

Why are these there, and are they a security risk?  Would I do harm to
remove the ones that I don't need?
