To list User’s In Ubuntu

In Ubuntu the process is exactly same as in the kali linux, that we have seen in the above instructions. below are the screenshots of the implementation of the commands.

1. Using Lastlog:

lastlog

2. Checking /etc/passwd file:

Follow the same steps mentioned above, see the series of commands mentioned below and screenshots.

nano filename.sh

# Loop through each username from the /etc/passwd file
for user in $(cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd); do

  if ! lastlog -u $user | grep -q "Never logged in"; then
    # Move on to the next user.
    continue
  fi

  # If "Never logged in" is found, the user has never logged in.
  # Print a message indicating that.
  echo "$user has never logged in"
done

chmod +x demo.sh

./demo.sh

As you can see that the steps are exactly the same for ubuntu also, because they both are linux based distributions and also uses same package manager and bash. This is how you can list users who have never logged in into the system in ubuntu.

In Linux we have a term called user management, which includes all the tasks related to handling user who are logged in on system or may have been created for different purposes but never logged in. when it comes to managing accounts Linux is pretty handy it comes with lot’s of options for administration tasks. you can create users, add them to groups, manage their permissions throughout the system and files, and also lock or unlock the users. In this article we will see how you can list down the users who never logged in the system but are present or created. The process is pretty simple it’s just one command you need to type on your terminal and you will have the results.
