What is included in the /etc/passwd file? What was included in it in the past, and why was this changed?
What will be an ideal response?
The /etc/passwd file stores user information such as the user name, the UID, the home directory, and the login shell.
In the past, /etc/passwd also contained the password hash. However, because the file needs to be readable by all (for instance, to show user and group names when using ls -l), the hashed password is now stored in /etc/shadow, which is only readable by root and members of the shadow group.
