I'm trying to determine how to get a list of BSD user ids that can login to the machine, either with a GUI or via ssh. My current approach is to build something like the 'dscacheutil -q user' command filtering on users who have a valid shell. I'm thinking that a valid shell would be determined by looking in the /etc/shells file. It currently seems to have some output formatting issues on Leopard when you call it with the -v verbose flag (perhaps dscl's output changed a bit from Tiger's), but other than that it comes in handy when you want to see which uid's and gid's are taken on your system. Further parsing and/or deeper inspection of the Directory Services info might get your the exact information you need. Feel free to use & hack at will. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
