Security question - uids of 0

The following appeared in my latest daily security run output:
Checking for uids of 0:
root 0
toor 0
This is the first time I've seen this message.
I checked /etc/passwd and found this:
root:*:0:0:Charlie &:/root:/bin/csh
toor:*:0:0:Bourne-again Superuser:/root:
I am running FreeBSD 4.10 as a gateway/router/firewall with IPFW for a small
home LAN.
I ran ps -aux and looked for any processes owned by "toor" but didn't find any.
Is this something to be concerned about?
Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I am still very much a newbie
and trying to learn what I can about security.
Thanks for your patience,
Jim
