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.

David
