in reply to printing passwd file

updateAmbrus read more carefully than I. new text and strikes are updates

Madmonster:

Please keep followups (such as this is, mimimally) in the original thread rather than starting a new one, Reposting an essentially verbatim question to a new node is NOTNOT regarded as honorable conduct in the monastery, particularly when the monks have already replied to your original ( password file problem, posted 3 days earlier than this one); offering answers most of which you do NOT appear to have studied and explaining WHY some of what you've posted WON'T WORK.

Failing to use <code> tags around your sample of what "output needs to be..." and your error messages is conterproductive, as omitting them lessens the readability of your post.

Please consult: How do I post a question effectively? AND (if you need more on formatting) Writeup Formatting Tips. Note that <code> tags are allowed around content that is NOT code, when their use makes your post more legible.

... and you may want to review the use of "-lne" (ps: that's one that's already been answered in a reply to your original post), and start using warnings and strict, qv.
