FreeBSD 'shadows' its passwords by default - the /etc/passwd file only contains 
user/group and GECOS information, the passwords themselves are stored in 
/etc/master.passwd, which is readable only by root. 

Does that answer your question?

Feedback timeout (about a month should be enough for a 'is master.passwd 
shadow enough' question ;)
