I think you missed the "crack" part.
If I can get a list of usernames on a system, it's that much easier to run a
dictionary attack against. So joeblow sees that admin1 is a valid account,
starts guessing passwords and eventually ends up logged in as admin1.
Farfetched, and not the most probable scenario/target(RT), but possible.
