No way one can get the password of other user even if root
also can not get the password unless untill there is an
readble entry in /etc/passwd file. But for the super user,
it doesn't need to know the user's passwrod to access his
docs.

Answer / choyal
No, No one can't know the passwd because it is stored in in
/etc/shadow file as MD5 Hash ,
and link at /etc/passwd.
We can convert Value(passwd) to Hash but not Hash to
value(passwd)
Super user is also not able to retrive passwd......

Answer / thulla
Yes, the entry will be only in /etc/passwd. But this file
is very deleciate, it is better that we do not touch this
file in order to know the password also.
