List UID

[job357]

I am using the following to list a range of UIDs in /etc/passwd in the range of 5000.

getent /etc/passwd |cut -d: -f: |awk '/5***/'

The problems is that '*' list additional numbers, all I want is anything in the range of 5000.

eg
5001-5400

not
5001-54444



Thanks.

very dirty:

awk '{IFS=":"}
if ($3 >4999 && 5999 >$3) print;
' /etc/passwd

nawk -F ':' '$3 > 4999 && $3 < 5999' /etc/passwd

Maybe something like this:

awk -F: '{ print $1,$3 }' /etc/passwd | grep -e 5[0-9][0-9][0-9]

jsmith1 5000
.
.
.
rjohnson 5999

remove the "$1," if you don't want the usernames.
