How I can I get user information in RHEL?

Hi Yorath,

This is very important question, actually Red Hat Linux contain all system configuration files in /etc directory.

You can easily get your desired user information file from here; you can find four important files are responsible to keep users and groups information in RHEL system.

The most important file name is /etc/passwd.

All of the following files keep user and group information in RHEL system
/etc/passwd

/etc/shadow
/etc/group
/etc/gshadow
