    I found these two files lying around in the /etc directory of one
of our FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE machines here.

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel      459403 Jan 20 15:35 pw.007939.orig
-rw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel      612563 Jan 25 19:06 pw.021282~

    pw.021282~ is a world readable/writeable copy of the master.passwd
file.  How did either of those files get there?  Do the serial numbers
on them look familiar to anyone (pids?).
