Hi, You can do it in several ways...
The first one is very simple, but using awk will give you some more
power. It all rather depends on what you need.
To get only the user names (meditate [man] over this commands to do yet
more):
* cut -d : -f 1 < /etc/passwd
* awk 'BEGIN {FS=":"} {print $1}' < /etc/passwd
or, if you want only the 'normal' users:
awk 'BEGIN {FS=":"} $3>=500 {print $1}' < /etc/passwd
etc... etc... etc...
Hope it helps, Rui
