I'm not at all familar with Unix beyond logging after I restart the serverSmilie I'm looking for some command that will bring me up a list of current users/passwords so I can add them to a master user/pw list I'm writing up. Also If someone could tell me how to add and delete users as well. Thanks again sorry I don't have the time to search these forums for the answers.

SGE_PASSWD(1)						   Sun Grid Engine User Commands					     SGE_PASSWD(1)

NAME
sgepasswd - Modify the Sun Grid Engine password file of Sun Grid Engine SYNTAX
sgepasswd [[ -D domain ] -d user ] sgepasswd [ -D domain ] [ user ] DESCRIPTION
sgepasswd modifies the Sun Grid Engine password file sgepasswd(5). This file contains a list of usernames and their windows password in encrypted form. sge_execd(8) and sge_shepherd(8) on hosts running Mi- crosoft Windows as operating systems use this information to start jobs for a certain user. Each user can use the sgepasswd application to add a new entry for the own user account. It is also possible to change the stored password with sgepasswd as far as the user knows the old one. The root user additionally has the permission to change the password entries for other user accounts. Root can also delete existing entries. The sgepasswd binary is only available on non-Windows hosts. OPTIONS
-D domain Per default sgepasswd will add/modify the current Unix username without domain specification. This switch can be used to add a domain specification in front of the current user name. Consult your Microsoft Windows documentation to get more information about domain users. -d user Only root can use this parameter to delete entries from the sgepasswd(5) file. -help Prints a listing of all options. ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES
SGE_CERTFILE Specifies the location of public key file. Per default sgepasswd will use the file $SGE_ROOT/$SGE_CELL/com- mon/sgeCA/certs/cert.pem SGE_KEYFILE If set, specifies the location of the private key file. Default is /var/sgeCA/port${SGE_QMASTER_PORT}/${SGE_CELL}/pri- vate/key.pem SGE_RANDFILE If set, specifies the location of the seed used to create encrypted versions of user passwords. Default is /var/sgeCA/port${SGE_QMASTER_PORT}/${SGE_CELL}/private/rand.seed SEE ALSO
