You're welcome. But note that not all users in the passwd file are really "people". i.e. on my Mac there are 65 entries in the passwd file, and there's only me and root (also me) in the vicinity
Special "users" like daemon, nobody, lpr, etc. are used by the system for various functions.
If you have any convention by which user ID's are assigned, you may want to count only those that match.
i.e. assuming that "real" user IDs start from 1000:
Code:
awk -F: '$3 >= 1000 { C++ } END { print C+0 }' /etc/passwd

SYNOPSIS
quot [ -acfguvi ] [ filesystem... ]
DESCRIPTION
quot displays the number of kilobytes in the named filesystem currently owned by each user or group. Note that this utility currently works
only for XFS.
OPTIONS -a Generate a report for all mounted filesystems giving the number of kilobytes used by each user or group.
-c Display three columns giving file size in kilobytes, number of files of that size, and cumulative total of kilobytes in that size or
smaller file. The last row is used as an overflow bucket and is the total of all files greater than 500 kilobytes.
-f Display count of kilobytes and number of files owned by each user or group.
-g Report on groups.
-u Report on users (the default).
-v Display three columns containing the number of kilobytes not accessed in the last 30, 60, and 90 days.
-i Ignore mountpoints mounted by automounter.
-T Avoid truncation of user names longer than 8 characters.
-q Do not sort the output.
FILES
/etc/mtab mounted filesystem table
/etc/passwd default set of users
/etc/group default set of groups
SEE ALSO du(1), ls(1).
