Read 'man 5 passwd' and 'man pwd_mkdb'.
There are several files:
FILES
/etc/passwd ASCII password file, with passwords removed
/etc/pwd.db db(3)-format password database, with passwords re-
moved
/etc/master.passwd ASCII password file, with passwords intact
/etc/spwd.db db(3)-format password database, with passwords in-
tact
