Non-root users can use the pw command to get information from the
master.passwd file e.g.

ps showuser paul
paul:*:1000:1000::0:0:& Richards:/home/paul:/usr/local/bin/bash

which shows the class, password expiry and account expiry. I'm not sure
whether that's information that should be kept secure but it does seem
like 'pw' is the only command that makes it available. The 'chsh'
command doesn't show this information except when run as root for
instance.

Paul.
