list

Hello, guys,

I need to get and filter the linux users list like:

username1 username1_group
username2 username2_group
...
usernameN usernameN_group

I've tried, but only that I've found is:

cat /etc/passwd | grep /home | cut -d: -f1

It gives me the list of users in /home folder. But how can I add the group name to each of them?

Thanks in advance!
