Hi Managers,

Thanks for the responses.

My original question was:

I have a question. How can I avoid that the users of the system can change
to the /etc subdirectory and can read the passwd file.

Solution:

The only way out is to install enchanced security package (C2 Security)
which installs a "shadow" password file and keeps the real passwords there.
This shadow file is not accesible to normal users and the regular password
file, Wich remains accessible, only contains dummy passwords.

Many Thanks to the following people:
