Default /etc/passwd file
Hello All,

Can anyone post the default /etc/passwd file for AIX?
I would like to compare with an existing machine of mine and want to identify what are the default users that are created when the O/S is installed.
In other words I would like to see the system users in AIX. Not the ones created by root or any other user.

Regards,
Saikrishna
