Run this one as a normal user (if you run it as root, it will spit out
the shadowed passwords instead of '*'):
% cat passwordentry.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <pwd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <errno.h> /* for perror() */
int main ()
{
struct passwd *p_entry;
int errno=0;
while (p_entry = getpwent()) {/* get a password entry */
if ( p_entry == NULL ) { /* have we reached the the end? */
if (errno!=0) { /* is it an error? */
perror("getpwent");
exit(-1);
}
}
printf("%s:%s:%i:%i:%s:%s:%s\n",
p_entry->pw_name, p_entry->pw_passwd, p_entry->pw_uid, p_entry->pw_gid, p_entry->pw_gecos, p_entry->pw_dir, p_entry->pw_shell);
}
exit(0);
}
% cc -o passwordentry passwordentry.c
% ./passwordentry
-jf
