Gack. That was all wrong.
Try this:
for user in $(awk 'BEGIN { FS = ":" } ; {print $1}' /etc/passwd)
do
password="$(egrep "^$user" /etc/passwd |awk 'BEGIN { FS = ":" } ; {print
$4}')"
echo "User $user has password $password"
done
Of course, that's not very efficient, since it reads all of the password
file (in your case, user_pw.csv) for each user, but for one-off purposes,
it's adequate.
