so you want to ask that how to see all the created users on a linux box?

the user database is maintained in the file /etc/passwd
so you can use

Code:

cat /etc/passwd

to see the existing user accounts, the 1st field before the colon is the username

Thanks from the core of my heart

If I disable the root access and make it via wheel user then what about the path settings? I mean to say I installed the tomcat+oracle and some other softwares the path will be effected or no?

thanks again & best regards
