If you using any good recent flavor of linux you can find the passwords in /etc/shadow

Can't do more than that - passwords are not stored in plain text.

The passwords in /etc/shadow are encrypted though. I'm not sure there is a command to show them unencrypted.

You can't straightforwardly see their passwords - not even as root - can you? The passwords in /etc/shadow are encrypted. Edit - too slow. What he ^^ said, except that I don't think there's a command to show users' passwords. At least, I hope there isn't.

Why do you want to see their passes? Or, another way around, what do you really want to do?

If your talking about their normal login passwords, you can't list them. They are normally stored in /etc/shadow crypted with a one-way hash (like md5). They aren't directly recoverable.
