I'm not sure if this is the appropriate way to do this, but for ease and compatibility with the various flavors of unix I administer at work I wrote this code. It is basically a work alike to the SYSV command of the same name (man page included), with no arguments it lists all users in a sorted list showing username and comment (gecos) field. the to options are [ -l users ] to list specific users and or [ -g groups ] to list all users in the given group(s). Users are defined as ID's with a uid greater than 99. We have a lot of scripts that made use of this command on Solaris and HP-UX, and I couldn't find a similar command in the BSD world. AFAIK, the only safe way to have the correct list of users is to use the Directory Services API. But I can be wrong. The real difficult part with the Directory Services API IMHO is that the APIs are a bit strange from a spelling point of view (Bug filed on this matter and closed as duplicate) Happily, a SDK (not provided with the DevTools) exists at http://developer.apple.com/sdk/ and contains a really good sample code showing how to list users.
