i've just started using linux got some questions for you guys..

i've compiled my code using g++ now how do i execute it?

i used :
g++ filename.cpp

i think it worked, and now how do i run the program? i can't find it in g++ manual..

also : in the shadow folder, how do i read the encrypted passwords? i am the root user for this computer.. i was trying to decrypt with grub or something like that.. any ideas?

The default executable file name will be called a.out

To execute the program:
./a.out

To create a executable with specific name:
g++ -0 filename filename.cpp

AFIK there isn't any easy way to decrypt existing passwords. Your only choice is to change the password.

i just started with linux and was just fooling around with the functions. I'm also taking a newbie class for linux, but i the teacher hasn't even read the manual.
