Display Linux users
 

Hi everyone,

I just want to ask how I can display a list of all the users on my machine? Not just the currently logged on users but all of them.

Thank you very much for your replies.

Hi, welcome to LQ!

This gets asked quite often, you could have used the search :}

One possible way:

awk -F: ' $3 > XXX {print $1}' /etc/passwd


XXX depends on your distro; in Slack, use 100 (the System/daemon users are
all lower than that). Debian: use 1000. Some others: maybe 500 :}


Cheers,
Tink

Thanks!
