Re: /etc/passwd get rest
Check your startup scripts and see if there is something that copies /etc/passwd from your other server.
If there is nothing the the startup scripts, check the package scripts for the SG packages.
Someone may have set something up to keep the /etc/passwd file synced between the 2 servers and used the other server in the cluster as a "master".

Re: /etc/passwd get rest
I think you should be using something like NIS or LDAP.
It makes no sense to add a user and the O.S deleted that user after reboot.
Please post the folloing command:
ypcat /etc/passwd
