well he specified that a standard 5-digit md5 hash takes at least 4 days or something on a 1ghz machine, which i dont know where you came up with the assumption of him talking about a password file entirely.. unless for some reason you can find a password file with only one small hash in it... which is stupid and i dont understand how anyone could even do something like that, much less someone else creating one..
er0k..................it looks like some kind of college test...........??
or are we being socially engineered?

Hehe, if there were a passwd file with only one entry or less than all the system accounts, your box wouldn't run. Anyone ever blow out the /etc/passwd on an HP box (10.20x) and then run a utility that checks /etc/passwd against who you're logged in as? It's funny as it comes back and says 'How'd you log in anyways?'.
