passwd file issue and multiple ssh requests

A little background. Every once in a while our passwd file on our UNIX
based mail server seems to disappear. The master password file is there,
just not the passwd file. We have narrowed it down to the fact that two
ssh requests try to run at the same time last night and thus locked the
file and "corrupted" the passwd file. So my question is this, the account
that caused the issue had two emails associated with it and they both tried
to request ssh sessions with our mail server at the same time. How do I get
the 2 emails to pause between requests so that this doesn't happen again?

Thanks,
Dawn
