--- Comment #1 from Chris Petrik <chris@bsdjunk.com> ---
I think it uses /usr/src/etc/* as base and then it diffs all that to the system
etc, not the actual one installed in /etc/ so I don't think there's any threat.

if you have a look at /usr/src/etc/ you will see a generic master.passwd which
should be the same one youre looking at. a normal user has no access to
/etc/master.passwd

-rw-------  1 root  wheel  2612 Aug 24 03:06 /etc/master.passwd

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  1640 Aug 18 12:26 /usr/src/etc/master.passwd
