Password of the user..... Do u know - You can get to reveal your
password!! This is due a well known bug in the crypto algorithm of
UNIX, used to generate /etc/passwd hash. Recent fixes have
recommended usage of stronger algorithms like MD5, etc., But due to
the large deployment of Unix machines, world-wide, its a very
difficult task, requiring huge Logistics support. Check if your
machine has the vulnerability. It could be fixed/still open... just
type the following command in UNIX or LINUX or Solaris, and you won't
believe that it will give you password of the user who has logged in
