lsuser command

Purpose

Displays user account attributes.

Syntax

lsuser [ ALL | Name[, Name ] ...]

Description

The lsuser command displays the user account attributes. You can use this command to list all attributes of all the system user accounts or all the attributes of specific user accounts. If you specify more than one user account, each user account is separated by a comma. If you do not specify any user accounts, the attributes of all user accounts are displayed.

The lsuser command lists each user's attributes on one line. It displays attribute information as Attribute=Value definitions, each separated by a blank space.

Note: The lsuser command only displays the users that were created on the Virtual I/O Server. It filters out all users that do not use the rksh shell or have the following role: roles=RunDiagnostics. The lsuser command does not display all LDAP users. For example, the command does not display an LDAP user that was created on another LDAP client, that does not exist on the Virtual I/O Server.

Exit Status

See Exit status for Virtual I/O Server commands.

Security

This command can be run by any users. However, user attributes are only displayed for the padmin user.
