User listing method

[hauwkim]

Hi

Is there a way I can list out all the users that I have created on my linux box.

I have googled and so far what I have found out is the who command which will only display a list of currently log in users

Thanx in advance

cut -d ':' -f 1 </etc/passwd


(This prints out the first column of the /etc/passwd file, which holds all the user settings for the users, the first column being their username)

[phlipant]

ls /home

Notice the two commands give different results, the first for all users, the second for users that log in manually.

After somemore digging I've manage to find another command that does the same thing as awk -F":" '{ print $1 }' /etc/passwd

Actually I did a ls /home

But when I try to change the users passwd it complains that the user does not exist

Gues I will have to use userdel -r when I delete a user next time


Thankx a million guys
