How do I list all users (even those not logged in)

I have checked out the man pages on w, who, finger and cannot find anything that will tell me all the users of a system. They all list logged on users.

How do I get a listing of all the users?

Is there a way to do this for an entire domain?

Thanks.

Steve

As slackie1000 mentioned the usernames exist in /etc/passwd.

If you try

Code:

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

you will get all the names of the users in the system you want.
This also includes daemons/special accounts.
