You have been asked to temporarily fill in for a Linux administrator who has just been fired. This administrator was known to take a lax view of security and it is suspected that passwords are still kept in the /etc/passwd file. When viewing that file, which entry below would indicate that the passwords are there?

The line that would indicate the passwords are there is given as Kolton:34uyx:431:0:Back Door:/root/bin/bash

Explanation:

The options are not given here. The options given were

1) kolton:34uyx:431:0:Back Door:/root:/bin/bash

2) adam:x:341:52:Adam Fox:/users/adam:/bin/bash

3) clifford:x:687:301:non secure user:/root:

4) eddie:x:100:100:://users/eddie:

Out of these

option 2 is not correct as the location of bin is not i the users, it is in the root.

option 3 is not correct as the users does not contain the root directory. It is other way around

option 4 is not correct as this not the appropriate way to address the directory in the Linux.
