Where is my unix id stored in the system?
Hi,

I logged in to a Sun unix box. I would like to know where my unix id is stored. So I did a "more /etc/passwd | grep <my unix id> but it did not show up. Where can I find my unix id and what is the command to see it?

Thanks in advanced,
XZOR

Code:
grep "login" /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f3

For example:
Code:
$ grep "admin" /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f3
101

Regards,
Tayyab

If it's a Unix box, it will be in the /etc/passwd file.

Try searching for it like this:

Code:
$ grep '^tstusr01' /etc/passwd
tstusr01:x:506:506::/home/tstusr01:/bin/ksh

Replace 'tstusr01' with your Unix userid.

It won't show up in /etc/passwd if your box is in a nis or ldap domain

Hi System Shock,
You gave me a clue when you mentioned the NIS. Somebody told me to findout whether you are using NIS or not this is the command:
ypcat passwd | grep <user id>
Thanks for the clue and thanks for those who responded I appreciate it.
