This guide walks you through the quickest ways to pull a full user roster from a Linux system, starting with the classic `cat /etc/passwd` command that reveals every account and its details. It then shows how to filter that data for real human users—those with UIDs 1000 or higher—using either `awk` or a clever `grep`/`cut` combo, keeping the list tidy by excluding system accounts like root or daemon. The article explains why the `getent passwd` command is essential when authentication is backed by external services such as LDAP or NIS, and it offers a quick trick to identify who has sudo privileges by inspecting the sudo or wheel groups in /etc/group. Finally, it advises saving the output to a file for audit purposes so you can compare snapshots before and after system changes.
