etc/shadow without hash
Hi,

I am new to shell programming and trying to write a command that would show the etc/shadow file but without the hashes. So, something like this:

root: <HASH PASSWORD FOUND BUT OBFUSCATED>
daemon: NP
bin: NP
sys: NP

If there is a '*' or '!', I'd like to see that as well but not hash of the password.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance!

does this work?

Code:
awk -F: 'BEGIN{OFS=":"}{if(length($2) >2){$2="scrubbed"};print}' /etc/shadow

or
Code:
awk -F: '{if(length($2) >2){$2="scrubbed"};print $1,":",$2}' /etc/shadow

That is amazing, they both work!!

Thanks SOO Much!
