1)Yes, Darwin is an open source unix that sits underneath OS X and it is BSD Based but
by default there is no /etc/passwd file (although you can create won using nidump.
2 & 3)Pretty much all of the unix shells work on it but the default is tcsh which
you can find in the env variable SHELL or by using nidump (probably better)
nidump passwd /
the above command will return all the information that would be in a /etc/passwd file in the
proper format of an etc passwd file.
In general, a good place to find things out about os x is to go to macosxhints.com
in case your curious.

Ok Steve just educate me a little on OS X by answering these questions:
1). OS X is a version of UNIX if I remember correctly but it does not have an /etc/passwd file right?
2). Several different shells can run on OS X right? Bash, Ksh, sh, csh et. Cetera right?
3). If 1 & 2 are correct how do I find the default shell used by the user on login? Is there a command I can spawn to get this value?
Thanks, Alex
