[list elided]

I can explain these:

fstab: created by the installer.  
kerberosIV:  Directory installed by src-secure
skel:  moved to /usr/share/skel
manpath.config.sample:  Deleted, it's a sample file!
aliases.db: made from `aliases' by sendmail
rc.conf.previous: your file
wall_cmos_clock: made by installer
localtime: made by tzsetup
skeykeys:  made by s/key system
resolv.conf: made by installer
ttys.old: your file
passwd~: your file created by incorrectly editing passwd with emacs
XF86Config: installed by xf86config
dnews.conf: installed by dnews port

Some are in /usr/src/etc/etc.i386/.
