This doesn't look like shadowed passwords. In a shadowed passwd file
the password field is replaced with an 'x' and the encrypted password is
stored in a separate file -- usually '/etc/shadow' tho YMMV. The passwd
file listed above is _not_ shadowed.
The '+' sign in the last line of your file is usually added to tell the
system to go to another source for account and password information --
usually NIS. Some UNIX systems do not need this entry and rely on the
/etc/nsswitch.conf file to tell it where to go for account information.
The default in search for RH is "files nisplus nis". I don't know if
Linux needs the '+' entry.
