[wplug] finding all users & groups

[jacob.hammerschmitt at pnc.com]

Hello,

At the risk of sounding like a complete noob, I need to ask a couple 
simple questions about security...

Other than just going to the /home directory and seeing all the user 
directories in there, is there another way to determine what user accounts 
exist on the machine?

Also, I need to determine which security groups each user belongs to.  I 
checked out the /etc/group file but that doesn't seem to jive with what is 
produced when I type 'groups' at the command line.  ex. I can see that My 
user id is part of the 'ldap' group in the group file but when I run 
groups there is an additional group that I am a part of that is not 
reflected in the group file.  Here is the output from my queries:

> grep -i 'pp43157' /etc/group
> ldap:x:600:pp24438,pp25730,pp25902,pp43157,pp43231,pp19617

> grep -i 'ldap' /etc/group
> ldap:x:600:pp24438,pp25730,pp25902,pp43157,pp43231,pp19617

> groups
> mantas ldap

> grep -i 'mantas' /etc/group
> informat:x:700:mantas,pp18623,stx0001
> mantas:x:800:

I'm using Red Hat Linux Advanced Server release 2.1AS/i686 (Pensacola)

Thanks in advance,
