They've been there for close to 27 years now, and before that in
NetBSD's tree too, and in the original BSDs too.

This is from 29.5 years ago in NetBSD:
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/etc/master.passwd?rev=1.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&only_with_tag=MAIN

The devil himself was there in 3BSD too, about 43 years ago.
