Hello

How we find the legacy account in /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/group ?

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

Code:

grep '^legacy:' /etc/passwd

Or have I misunderstood you?

Hello Sir,

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

These sound a lot like homework https://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/rules.html.
What have you got so far from eg google?
