If you want to find the account named 'legacy', then just

Code:
grep '^legacy:' /etc/passwd
Or have I misunderstood you?

EDIT: duplicate of https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...estion-948821/, reported.

Hello Sir,

The right question is.
Verify no legacy '+' entries exist in passwd, shadow, and group files

regadrs,

Restrict root logins to system console by setting CONSOLE parmeter to /dev/console.?

Prevent Syslog from accepting messages from network by setting LOG_FROM_REMOTE parameter to NO. in linux
