here's my command string, the problem is when i get multiple lines from the passwd file. this only returns the first line's info, the result of the grep seems to put just one space between the lines and the cut thinks that it's looking at one line not 2. i've looked and man grep and man cut to see if there are any switches I should turn on and nothing has worked thus far.
any suggestions to get the second line to echo?
