awk -F: ' { print $1 } ' /etc/passwd will give you a list of all login
ids on a machine. After eliminating the obvious ones (like root, nobody
etc.) you will have a list of users on your system.

The users, w, who and finger commands give you listings of users currently
logged in. The last command give you a list of people who logged in since the
last time /var/log/wtmp was rotated (once a week in RH, IIRC). Logins are
usually logged in /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure as well.
