<DIV>Sorry there was a typo in script.</DIV>

<DIV>What am I doing wrong? The purpose of the script is to take the password field for shadow and insert it into the password field in /etc/passwd.</DIV>

<DIV>Here is what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to store the first field in /etc/passwd into a var and 3,4,5 and 6th fields, but I don't get any echo $REST? Why is the question</DIV>
