Try
find /etc -name \*gay\* -print
which will find all files matching the pattern *gay*
If there's only one of 'em, do
find /etc -name \*gay\* -exec rm {} \;
Basically, there might be some white space or non-ASCII characters in the filename
and you're not seeing this when you ls -l

No there shouldn't be two entries. It might be the same thing as for the "gay"
file above. The permissions on the second master.password look suspect, so
try
cp -p master.passwd Master.passwd
find /etc -name \*master.passwd\* -print
find /etc -name \*master.passwd\* -exec rm {} \;
cp -p Master.passwd master.passwd
Cheers,
Adam.
