Mystery user account

On one of my test servers I installed Oracle8.1.7 under the "oracle"
account. Everything
has been working for the past couple of months, the other day I noticed a
new account called "iass".

So today I looked into it a little further, and it appears to have taken
over my "oracle" account.

1. When I log in as oracle, and do a "whoami" it comes back as "iass"

2. All my oracle files are now owned by iass

3. In passwd, the account oracle had been replace with iass.

4. iass is a local account, it is not located within my NIS database.

I then tried to comment out the iass account, which created a whole pile of
problems, the ownership
of everything turned to #iass.

I removed the account from passwd, and the ownership of the files has
returned to "oracle"

This has to be a configuration issue someplace,but I don't know the first
place to look, I can
find no instance of iass in the /etc directory. This is Tru64 5.1.

Thanks

Darren
