1. List of users
/etc/passwd would show local users
% cat /etc/passwd
If you are running NIS then you would have to do
% ypcat passwd
to show all NIS users. If the OS supports NIS+ the command is a little different - check your /etc/nsswitch.conf to see if either service is being used.
2.
3. Check /etc/default/passwd for settings and man page for info
% man -s4 passwd
% cat /etc/default/passwd
Sorry got to go - maybe someone else can pick up your second question.
Opps, sorry - that should have been
% man -s4 shadow
for info on forcing changes.
As far as question 2 - I agree with the next post - more info is needed. If a user belongs to a certain group and that group has access to a directory, then that could be thought of as access.
Again, if you are running NIS there could be more control on who gets access - a netgroup file could be in place which allows certain users access to the server and other can not login.

git-shell
GIT-SHELL(1) Git Manual GIT-SHELL(1)
NAME
git-shell - Restricted login shell for Git-only SSH access
SYNOPSIS
chsh -s $(command -v git-shell) <user>
git clone <user>@localhost:/path/to/repo.git
ssh <user>@localhost
DESCRIPTION
This is a login shell for SSH accounts to provide restricted Git access. It permits execution only of server-side Git commands implementing
the pull/push functionality, plus custom commands present in a subdirectory named git-shell-commands in the user's home directory.
COMMANDS
git shell accepts the following commands after the -c option:
git receive-pack <argument>, git upload-pack <argument>, git upload-archive <argument>
Call the corresponding server-side command to support the client's git push, git fetch, or git archive --remote request.
cvs server
Imitate a CVS server. See git-cvsserver(1).
If a ~/git-shell-commands directory is present, git shell will also handle other, custom commands by running "git-shell-commands/<command>
<arguments>" from the user's home directory.
INTERACTIVE USE
By default, the commands above can be executed only with the -c option; the shell is not interactive.
If a ~/git-shell-commands directory is present, git shell can also be run interactively (with no arguments). If a help command is present
in the git-shell-commands directory, it is run to provide the user with an overview of allowed actions. Then a "git> " prompt is presented
at which one can enter any of the commands from the git-shell-commands directory, or exit to close the connection.
Generally this mode is used as an administrative interface to allow users to list repositories they have access to, create, delete, or
rename repositories, or change repository descriptions and permissions.
If a no-interactive-login command exists, then it is run and the interactive shell is aborted.
EXAMPLE
To disable interactive logins, displaying a greeting instead:
+
$ chsh -s /usr/bin/git-shell
$ mkdir $HOME/git-shell-commands
$ cat >$HOME/git-shell-commands/no-interactive-login <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
printf '%s
' "Hi $USER! You've successfully authenticated, but I do not"
printf '%s
' "provide interactive shell access."
exit 128
EOF
$ chmod +x $HOME/git-shell-commands/no-interactive-login
