How to list all users?

To list all users on a Linux system, you can check the /etc/passwd file, which contains user account information. Here are a couple of ways to do this:

  1. Using the cat command:
cat /etc/passwd

This will display all user accounts along with their details. Each line represents a user.

  1. Using the cut command to show only usernames:
cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd

This command extracts and displays only the usernames from the /etc/passwd file.

  1. Using the getent command:
getent passwd

This command retrieves user account information from the system's databases, including users from network services if configured.
