List all user accounts on a system?
I'm sure this is an easy one, but for some reason I can't find the command to list all the users of my system? I know users command will give me a list of all the users currently logged in, but I want to know ALL users including the ones not logged in

Yep that works, I've also found a little cleaner way to do it
. Code:cat /etc/passwd | cut -d":" -f1

cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd
Supported in v8.4 of cut and possibly earlier versions.
