Using "getpwent" in SYSV/386

[Mike Israel]

I have a question regarding the use of the "C" function 
"getpwent" under AT&T's Unix SYSV/386 Release 3.2.

This particular version of Unix stores encrypted passwords
in a file called /etc/shadow.  The standard /etc/password field
for the encrypted password simply contains an 'x'.  Using
"getpwent" simply retrieves this 'x'.

Is there an existing function to access the encrypted password?
