how to define normal and remote users?
probably you will find normal users in /etc/passwd (if you understand it well - and that is called local users).
I know that normal users we can See in /etc/passwd....But I am Asking about, how to Know that a User is Remote User (or) Normal User?

Just as a suggestion, you might want to change your username using the instructions at the top of the page here, lest your email inbox ends up with a boatload of SPAM in the very near future. You can find the "Contact Us" form here.

Read the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature; doing basic research should be the first thing you try. Since you probably found this site with an Internet search, putting "how to list nis users" into that same search engine yields lots. Are you the administrator??? Because if you are, you should then also be familiar with the ypcat and yplist commands...try reading those man pages. And you mention Red Hat Linux....have you called Red Hat support (you are paying for RHEL, right?), and/or checked the Red Hat knowledgebase? https://access.redhat.com/solutions/7247
