Where to find user password hashes?

[teves]

Hello,

can someone please tell me where I can find the user passwords (the hashes) in ISPConfig 2.2.35 ?
I could not find a helpful answer in the forum; obviously they are not saved in the isp_isp_user table. I found a forum posting indicating they're stored in /etc/passwd, but each line in there looks like the following:
webNNN-spamroot:x:10012:10001:spamroot:/var/www/webNNN/user/webNNN-spamroot:/bin/false
No hashes in here. Can someone help, please.

Is it correct that these passwords are stored in the crypt-md5 format (hashes beginning with '$1$') ?

Thank you,
regards, Tom

PAsswords aren't stored in the database for security reasons. They are in /etc/shadow.

Thank you very much Falko!
This information is vital for me.

Sorry to bother again, but I have another question:

looking into /etc/shadow I found a faulty line in there.
While a typical entry looks like:
webNN-admin:$1$RtRNROt]$9vn7gWtxrYTQko7tu8Qr..:14904:0:99999:7:::

the faulty line looks like this:
OKwEcr$F9nFxEKf9lietOP03P6JW/:14983:0:99999:7:::

In other words: the user name and 5 Characters at the beginning of the password hash are missing.

Does anybody know if this might cause problems?
(Please don't tell me to remove the line; I will do so. ;-) )
I wish to know what problems it might cause, because I had issues in the past that I could not find a root for.

Thank you!
Regards, Tom
