1- Different operating systems store password in different ways and location.
Be sure of - you can't read the password because it is encrypted.
HP-UX stores it in /etc/passwd file third field (separated by :) is the encrypted password.
Solaris keeps it in /etc/shadow file.
2- tty command
3- Different file name size in different OS. It depends on type of file system also. You need to find out the OS and file system type and then you can come to know this.
4- ls -F will show directories as abc/ and executables as xyz*
5- Question itself is not clear, what you want to know.
6- Again depends on OS type and file system type.
