FreeBSD does shadow passwords all teh time look in /etc/passwd. notice.. "look ma, no passwords" they are in /etc/master.passwd but only root can read it. also there are ndb versions of the files for faster access that the utilities use. (they don't use the passwd file directly, that's for compatibility only). see pwd.db, spwd.db for the binary db versions of the files use vipw to do all editing... it keeps them in sync. julian Peter Schwenk wrote: > > Hello All, > > I'm wondering: does FreeBSD do shadow passwords?
