If the

\fIpassword\fR

field is a lower\-case

\fBshadow\fR(5)

be a corresponding line in the

The encrypted
|
|
\fIpassword\fR
|
|
field may be empty, in which case no password is required to authenticate as the specified login name\&. However, some applications which read the
|
|
/etc/passwd
|
|
file may decide not to permit
|
|
\fIany\fR
|
|
access at all if the
|
|
\fIpassword\fR
|
|
field is blank\&.
|
|
.PP
|

A
|
|
\fIpassword\fR
|
|
field which starts with an exclamation mark means that the password is locked\&. The remaining characters on the line represent the
|

\fIpassword\fR
|
|
field before the password was locked\&.

If the password field contains some string that is not a valid result of
|
|
\fBcrypt\fR(3), for instance ! or *, the user will not be able to use a unix password to log in (but the user may log in the system by other means)\&.

The comment field, also known as the gecos field, is used by various system utilities, such as

\fBfinger\fR(1)\&. The use of an ampersand here will be replaced by the capitalised login name when the field is used or displayed by such system utilities\&.

The home directory field provides the name of the initial working directory\&. The

|
program uses this information to set the value of the
|
|
\fB$HOME\fR
|
|
environmental variable\&.
|

.PP
|
|
The command interpreter field provides the name of the user\*(Aqs command language interpreter, or the name of the initial program to execute\&. The
|
|
\fBlogin\fR
|
|
program uses this information to set the value of the
|
|
\fB$SHELL\fR
