For just having a glance at it:
Code:
sort -t":" -nr -k3,3 /etc/passwd

The users with gid 0 will be listed at the bottom. To reverse remove the -r.


For further usage of the output you might want something like:
Code:
awk -F":" '$3 == 0 {print}' /etc/passwd


This is no AIX specific topic so next time post in the subforum for Shell Scripting please, ty.
