attributes of a user 1

[testman1]

Can someone tell me how I can show all of the attributes of a user?

grep -w username /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/group will tell you most things (home directory, shell, whether they have a password, password expiry times, group membership, etc.).

id -a will show their group membership in a more human readable format.

passwd -S username will show their password settings in a slightly more readable format.

Is that what you mean by attributes?

Yes thank you. I'm new to Linux.
