How can you view the list of registered users in the system?

Answer from AI

In Unix-like systems, the list of registered users can be viewed by examining the /etc/passwd file. To do this, simply run the command:

cat /etc/passwd

Each line in this file corresponds to a user and contains information in the following format:

username:x:UID:GID:comment:home_directory:shell

For easier viewing, you can use the cut or awk command to display only the usernames:

cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd

In Windows, the list of users can be obtained via the command line using:

net user

Or through PowerShell:

Get-LocalUser
