I added a user with the adduser script
and what happened was that a previous existing
user (probably the wheel member I su'd to
execute adduser) was overwritten.

It seemed like the dir name of the perexisting user
was simply replaced by the new user. But the old user
name still seemed to exist in that I could su/wheel to it.

Does anybody know what I'm talking about? Not
sure I do - it seemed very strange.
