I don't really know what I'm talking about, but this should probably help you get started: awk -F : '{print $5}' /etc/passwd | sed -e "s/^\([^,]*\).*$/\1/" That will give you a list of just the full names. Pipe that into something else that will look each one up in the directory service. Not a complete answer, but it's a start... -- Vineet http://www.anti-dmca.org Unauthorized use of this .sig may constitute violation of US law. Qba\'g gernq ba zr\! |tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M'
