Recently, while adding users to my freebsd machine I got an error message that showed that all my users had duplicates. I viewed my master.passwd file and saw that all id's/passwds had several copies within the file. The file would go from root to whomever and then repeat the root to whomever cycle any number of times. I thought that someone had hacked my machine (2.2.6) but checked the logs and saw nothing out of the ordinary. This also happens on another freebsd box which has just 1 user. This has become more of an annoyance than anything else. Each time this happens, I just edit the master.passwd file and remove the duplicates. However, i'd like for this to stop, so has anyone had a similar experience and know how to fix it? Thank you.
