List existing users
 

Is there a command to list all the existing users in the system.

( i know we can cat or vi the /etc/passwd file to know the same, but is there a command to list the same)

type

same doubt i have two users but see this

[student@Simlab-node10 student]$ users
[student@Simlab-node10 student]$

shows nothing...

You could do the following (yes, it does read /etc/passwd directly, but it only displays the user names)

cat /etc/passwd | cut -d':' -f1
