$ pacman -Qii filesystem

Backup Files:
MODIFIED /etc/fstab
MISSING /etc/crypttab
MODIFIED /etc/group
MODIFIED /etc/hosts
MODIFIED /etc/ld.so.conf
MODIFIED /etc/passwd
MISSING /etc/shadow
MISSING /etc/gshadow

Not Modified /etc/motd
Not Modified /etc/nsswitch.conf
Not Modified /etc/shells
Not Modified /etc/host.conf
Not Modified /etc/securetty
Not Modified /etc/profile
Not Modified /etc/issue
