HP-UX

Hello,

I want to check empty user password in a Perl script in Tru64 5.1.
What I am doing is something like this:

Code:

use User::pwent;
...
while ( my $ent = getpwent() ) {
   print $ent->passwd, "\n";
}

Running this script as a non-privileged user, the encrypted passwords will be '*'. I don't have access to root in the machine, so my doubt is: running the script in privileged user, the '*' passwords will be substituted with the encrypted passwords in auth.db file?

Note: Perl version is 5.8.0

Thanks.
