Etc Passwd
 
Hi, all,
I got a user account on a linux network. But when I look in the /etc/passwd file, I don't see my username there. Where would I find my username?
Thanks,
Jaypas

Hi Jaypas,

If it's a network domain then it would be the domain server/controller that it would likely be on as you would be logging into a network instead of as a local user.

probably in nis or ldap

Try

ypcat passwd
ypcat passwd | grep yourusername
