Isn't it a security hole...



...the attribute readable for others in case of the file /etc/passwd?

Recently my debian system was cracked by several pirates. They have 
account name and the password widely broadcasted on an IRC channel. The 
only way, as I guess, they grabed root's privilages was free access to 
/etc/passwd.
Is there a free and debianized shadow-password package?

TIA.
