number of users

Anyone, What is the easiest way I can find the total number of accounts on my HP-UX 11.11 server? I know I can count the entries in /etc/passwd but this is a VERY long list. So for fututre reference is their a command to run?

Re: number of users

wc -l /etc/passwd
"The difference between me and you? I will read the man page." and "Respect the hat." and "You could just do a search on ITRC, you don't need to start a thread on a topic that's been answered 100 times already." Oh, and "What. no points???"
