I thought that's only because we, now, have passwords stored in another
location.  It used to contain passwords.  Maybe it still does with some
distros.

ll /etc/passwd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2175 2007-08-19 15:56 /etc/passwd

Not quite "root only."  Sure, only root can change it, but others can
read it.
