Extract user accounts and home directory from /etc/passwd.

I am trying to obtain all user accounts and their respective home directories.

/etc/passwd contains the required information, but I want to filter it to only show the uid,username and home directory path.

I am working on a Solaris 11 machine.

I made a little headway so far, but I got stuck Smilie.
Code:
cat /etc/passwd | cut -f1,3,6 -d:

I have to eliminate results which have >100 uid, as they are not user accounts.

I tried using grep to do so, but it got really out of hand lol Smilie

Code:
cat /etc/passwd | cut -f1,3,6 -d: | grep '[0-9][0-9][0-9]:[a-z]+:/[a-z]+/[a-z]+/[a-z]+'

Any help is greatly appreciated.
