You'd have to use vipw to view the encrypted password, as the passwd file is shadowed and has a '*' where the password would be. And you have to be root to run vipw. It may well be more practical to write a short Perl script using the crypt() function - this is how adduser uses it:- $cryptpwd = crypt($password, &salt) if $password ne "";
