Default very weird problem

Hi,

I finally installed FreeBSD as main OS but still have lots of problems to solve.

A really really strange thing happened that I must report : the account of my user disappeared suddenly although I was logged in... I'm sure I did not delete it myself !! And then the root account had no password ! It was empty ! It's just... like, is it possible that my computer has already been hacked ??? Before I just have time enough to upgrade properly ?

Cheers !

EDIT: That looks normal, doesn't it ?
Code:
xochipilli# sockstat -4
USER     COMMAND    PID   FD PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS         FOREIGN ADDRESS      
root     Xorg       957   3  tcp4   *:6000                *:*
root     sendmail   829   3  tcp4   127.0.0.1:25          *:*
root     lpd        759   7  tcp4   *:515                 *:*
root     syslogd    680   7  udp4   *:514                 *:*
xochipilli#
EDIT2 : when the account of the normal user disappeared, its uid was 1000. I noticed that FreeBSD proposed 1001 as first default uid when creating an account. I did use 1000 instead to have less problems with the linux in dual boot on the same disk. But is this uid of 1000 not usable in FreeBSD ? Could the problem come from here ??
