A way to capture the user list

Can someone please help me with a way to generate a user list on a system along with the group to which the id belongs?

man 5 passwd

That does not generate the user list on the server.

What exactly do you need that goes beyond a cat /etc/passwd?

What operating system is your server running?

What operating system is your client running?

I am trying to get this list from an AIX server.

---------- Post updated at 02:48 AM ---------- Previous update was at 02:48 AM ----------

Is there a way to generate a list with 2 columns - the first one being the user id, and the 2nd one being the group

Code:
awk -F: '{print $3, $4}' /etc/passwd

Do you want the user id or the user name?
