logins(1M)                       UNIX System V                       logins(1M)


NAME
      logins - list user and system login information

SYNOPSIS
      logins [-dmopstuxa] [-g groups] [-l logins]

DESCRIPTION
      This command displays information on user and system logins.  Contents of
      the output is controlled by the command options and can include the
      following:  user or system login, user id number, /etc/passwd account
      field value (user name or other information), primary group name, primary
      group id, multiple group names, multiple group ids, home directory, login
      shell, and four password aging parameters.  The default information is
      the following: login id, user id, primary group name, primary group id
      and the account field value from /etc/passwd.  Output is sorted by user
      id, displaying system logins followed by user logins.

      -d    Selects logins with duplicate uids.

      -m    Displays multiple group membership information.

      -o    Formats output into one line of colon-separated fields.

      -p    Selects logins with no passwords.

      -s    Selects all system logins.

      -t    Sorts output by login instead of by uid.

      -u    Selects all user logins.

      -x    Prints an extended set of information about each selected user.
            The extended information includes home directory, login shell and
            password aging information, each displayed on a separate line.  The
            password information consists of password status (PS for
            passworded, NP for no password or LK for locked).  If the login is
            passworded, status is followed by the date the password was last
            changed, the number of days required between changes, and the
            number of days allowed before a change is required.  The password
            aging information shows the time interval that the user will
            receive a password expiration warning message (when logging on)
            before the password expires.

      -a    Adds two password expiration fields to the display.  The fields
            show how many days a password can remain unused before it
            automatically becomes inactive and the date that the password will
            expire.

      -g    Selects all users belonging to group, sorted by login.  Multiple
            groups can be specified as a comma-separated list.

      -l    Selects the requested login.  Multiple logins can be specified as a
            comma-separated list.

NOTES
      Options may be used together.  If so, any login matching any criteria
      will be displayed.  When the -l and -g options are combined, a user will
      only be listed once, even if they belong to more than one of the selected
      groups.
