I found these two files lying around in the /etc directory of one
of our FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE machines here.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 459403 Jan 20 15:35 pw.007939.orig
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 612563 Jan 25 19:06 pw.021282~
pw.021282~ is a world readable/writeable copy of the master.passwd
file. How did either of those files get there? Do the serial numbers
on them look familiar to anyone (pids?).
