The server is a training server set up for me, so don't worry.. I'm not doing anything illegal here..... See I could try to find out myself by installing FreeBSD and studying it.. And I really would to, if the case wasn't that I have a deadline in a week....

Haha ... you're so honest.

If you want access to /etc/master.passwd, you'll have to be root.

If you're telling the truth, and you have legitimate reason to want this,
then you need to contact whoever has root access to that machine and get
their cooperation.

If you're trying to get master.passwd on a machine that you have no root
access on, they you'll have to break root on that machine, and this is
the wrong forum to ask questions about how to do that.
