What would be FreeBSD password file equivalent of linux /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd? Is it the same?
According to what I heard /etc/passwd exists in FreeBSD, but not sure in case of /etc/shadow.

In freeBSD password and user related information are stored as blow.
/etc/master.passwd the user database. Its equivalent for /etc/shadow of Linux
/etc/passwd a Version 7 format password file. Same as /etc/passwd of Linux
/etc/passwd.XXXXXX temporary copy of the password file
