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:
- Using the
catcommand:
cat /etc/passwd
This will display all user accounts along with their details. Each line represents a user.
- Using the
cutcommand to show only usernames:
cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd
This command extracts and displays only the usernames from the /etc/passwd file.
- Using the
getentcommand:
getent passwd
This command retrieves user account information from the system's databases, including users from network services if configured.
