NAME              passwd -- password file

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION       passwd contains for each user the following information:

                     name (login name)
                     password
                     numerical user ID
                     default working directory
                     program to use as Shell

                  This is an ASCII file. Each field within each a user's
                  entry is separated from the next by a colon. Each user is
                  separated from the next by a new--line. If the password
                  field is null, no password is demanded; if the Shell field
                  is null, the Shell itself is used.

                  This file, naturally, is inaccessible to anyone but the
                  super--user.

                  This file resides in directory /etc.
