I'm curious, how did that happen? Did you actually let mergemaster
replace the passwd files in /etc?
I use mergemaster quite often, and there are a few files that I don't
let it touch. It wouldbe nice if mergemaster has an option to let you
specify files that you don't want it to look at. But, all in all,
mergemaster is a big help when keeping up with -current.
