[Gambas-user] getting a list of users

[Jason Curl]

On most systems, isn't /etc/passwd available for reading? One could iterate
through this and check that the login shell is actually valid for a valid
login account.

I'm not sure if the passwd file is always kept in /etc though.

The quick way but not the good way:

MyComboBox.List = Dir("/home").Join("\n") & "\nroot"
