Description

What is the command to get the the list of users on a Linux Virtual Machine (VM) instance?

aparently:
```
getent passwd
```
Not a very _descriptive_ command ...
basically `getent` is "get entries" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getent
in the `passwd` file which contains a list of all the users.
