title: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
body: <p>I'm trying to test the supposed flaw in OS X Lion, of how unprotected the password is, on my own computer (from <a href="http://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how-to/hack-mac-os-x-lion-passwords-0130036" rel="nofollow">this</a> article). But when I enter the code the in terminal that is supposed to extract the password hash: </p>
  
  <pre><code>$ dscl localhost -read /Search/Users/&lt;root user&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>is there any way to get around this?</p>
