Several users are registered on this system. Parse /etc/passwd with awk to find the one matching a specific condition, then check the hidden file in that user's home directory.
cat /etc/passwd shows information for all users
awk -F: makes it easy to work with colon-separated fields
Once you identify the target user, check ls -la ~username for hidden files
