How would I list logins in my etc/passwd file that are 8 characters long? I am using the bash shell.

This should do it:
[tt]gawk -F: '
{
if (length($1) == 8)
print $1
}' /etc/passwd[/tt] //Daniel
[tt]gawk -F: '
{
if (length($1) == 8)
print $1
}' /etc/passwd[/tt] //Daniel

to specify the length of the characters.
