With HP-UX you'll need to know whether it is a Standard system or a Trusted system.

For a Standard system all the information is in /etc/passwd. There is no /etc/shadow file.

The "logins -xto" command gives all the information in format suitable for further processing in shell.


For a Trusted system the information is elsewhere. See "man 4 passwd".
