    I'd prefer the underscored kind. I remember a post on ports@ from
    a guy called Cyrus complaining about the mail/cyrus* ports stealing
    his login. This kind of problems can be avoided, plus there's the
    benefit of easier recognition of "system" processes (daemons) from
    user ones in e. g. top(1).
