Counting user entries

[Greg Hains]

Lets assume I have a number of users in the Accounts and Privileges section - excluding Guest (is this the only builtin account that cannot be removed), and want to count them. Normally I would do a search on a table that had some of those entries in there and count them tat way, but in this case, one or more of these users may not have entries in the table.

How do I count how many users are in the security database, and preferably a list of those users too.

... Unfortunately ... well probably fortunately ... you cant - This would pose a pretty big security risk if someone could just jump on and return a list of all the accounts in your system.

What you might want to do instead is create an accounts table and do your management from there via scripts rather than manually through the fm interface.

Hi Genx.

Bummer. This was a leadup to another question too... Back to the drawing board. :

Thanks,
