I am using FreeBSD 2.0.5 and have no problem adding users with /usr/sbin/adduser utility.  However, when I try to remove a user, one of the steps I perform is to remove the line associated with the user in /etc/passwd and save the file.  Then, a few minutes later if I look at the file again, the line is back in the file.  Is there any way to delete a line forever in /etc/passwd?  Any help is appreciated.
