Subject: Re: bin/118488: [patch] pw(8) usershow doesn't print password
hashes when run as root

Why do you think this is a bug?
From pw(8) manual page:
The usershow command allows viewing of an account in one of two formats.
By default, the format is identical to the format used in
/etc/master.passwd with the password field replaced with a `*'. If the
-P option is used, then pw outputs the account details in a more human
readable form. If the -7 option is used, the account details are shown
in v7 format. The -a option lists all users currently on file. Using -F
forces pw to print the details of an account even if it does not exist.
Maybe you intended to file this as a change-request? If so, you need to
patch the manual page too.
