its this one

cat /etc/passwd

all you have to do is login to your linux shell command promt and send the command above

you will need to have su superuser or root login

it's not right, you don't need to have su superuser or root login
/etc/passwd normal rights are : -rw-r--r--

so anybody can read it, and run cat /etc/passwd
