The only change in that area was when I changed the passwd with passwd(1) of a different user. So passwd(1) or something similar is buggy?
FreeBSD gets the user data from the bdb format database files pwd.db & spwd.db. These are generated from /etc/master.passwd.
So first, regenerate the db files by running "pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd" Now check if the user is really there: "db_dump185-5 -p /etc/pwd.db | grep lostuser"(the right dump command might be named differently on your system; check every db_dump* to see which one works)
If the user still doesn't appear, check if libc's nsswitch is configured correctly:
"grep passwd: /etc/nsswitch.conf" this should say "files" or "compat" "getent passwd lostuser" this should list lostuser's entry in passwd(5) format
