entries in /etc/passwd

- Subject: entries in /etc/passwd
When installing cygwin, the following accounts get included in the
/etc/passwd file, and I am a bit curious about them:
Everyone:*:0:0:,S-1-1-0::
SYSTEM:*:18:18:,S-1-5-18::
Why are they created, and what are the side effects of removing them from
/etc/passwd? I looked around in the FAQ's, and could not find anything on
this.
Thanks in advance for the assist!
