The

Any other ideas?
Are you including the domain name with the username, e.g.
getent passwd 'DOMAIN\USER' | cut -d: -f3

Paul -- that fixed it -- thanks so much, one more if I could?
Is there a way to just get a complete listing -- perhaps even printable??
thanks again
Try this:
getent passwd | awk -F: '{ printf "%-20s %5d %s\n", $1, $3, $5 }' | LC_ALL=C sort +1
(that's all one line)
Username, UID, Real Name in 3 columns
Might not work if you have "winbind enum users = no" in your samba
config.

It works like a champ -- its wonderful
I know this one is a newbie question, and im sorry, but I don't even know where to look to find the answer....
I would like to send the output to a file that I could open in excel. A text file would work, because the way it outputs, there are spaces between items (I think it would work)
Can someone suggest a method?
thanks -- TIM

redirect the output. For example:
getent passwd | awk -F: '{ printf "%-20s %5d %s\n", $1, $3, $5 }' |
LC_ALL=C sort +1 > /tmp/list.csv
works a champ. Just make sure you specify both spaces and tabs as delimiters & merge delimiters on import.
Just checked it with OpenOffice calc
