Its not uncommon for some admins to assign a uid to multiple
users on a system.  If you wish to not see those warnings
when running adduser then set the -silent option as it tells
you when you are adding the user and you won't have to see
those messages.

The output is showing you the uid and the crossed usernames
to which are associated.  If you didn't add those users and
are concerned you should probably inquire with someone the
purpose for their doing that.  Its a strange concept to me
honestly..  Though I can definitly see its use such as with
the root and toor accounts on a freebsd system.
