Do this: grep '^username:' /etc/passwd or if you're using NIS to hold users: ypmatch username passwd The data format is described by "man 5 passwd".

Seems he spent the most recent thirty years of his life tracking down his family history. Spent hundreds of pounds, traveled, devoted his life to it. Then, last month, a cousin told him he was adopted.
