w & users command will only output the current user login.

Any command to list out all the users that have a login account in the system ?

[Ranjith_5]

#cat /etc/passwd. This will show an output similar to the following.From this you can find out all the user accounts including system accounts.

root:uXkeN0l2i/p1A:0:3::/:/sbin/sh
daemon:*:1:5::/:/sbin/sh
bin:*:2:2::/usr/bin:/sbin/sh
sys:*:3:3::/:

check the command logins
logins -a --> all user's on system and details.
logins -u --> user logins
logins -s --> system users.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

grep "sh$" /etc/passwd |cut -d: -f1

give you the list of all users with shell access (sh or ksh or rsh ,...).

logins is the command you need. There are options, check the man pages, that allow you to refine your listing. You have to be root for this command.

[twang · Accepted solution]

To list all user login data:
# listusers
mysql
oracle ,,,
smbnull DO NOT USE OR DELETE - needed by Samba
sshd sshd privsep

[RUET]

try also the unix command pwget which is able to look at /etc/passwd, NIS

You have the same for group : grget

[Muthukumar_5]

logins -uax --> will all relavent informations to user accounts.
