today i wanted to know how to list the users in my linux box so the command to do that is easy
its this one
cat /etc/passwd
all you have to do is login to your linux shell command promt and send the command above
you will need to have su superuser or root login
/etc/passwd normal rights are : -rw-r--r--
so anybody can read it, and run cat /etc/passwd
