Help I know nothing about UNIX .. but at least this is the one and only
question on UNIX! So go give a guy a break and put me out of my misery....
i have gone through the manuel (man commands ) and am getting annoyed as its
only the first question.
a) Given a person's username, on UNIX, how would you find out their real
name? [3 marks]
thanks very much!
