You can use awk:



awk -F: '$3 >= 1000 && $3 <=59999 {print $1}' /etc/passwd


It only lists users with the user ID greater than 1000 and less than 59999, which is what you are looking for. these numbers are first to last inclusive range of UIDs which will be assigned dynamically to user accounts/groups.



To see where the 1000 and 59999 comes from, look at /etc/adduser.conf:



grep -e '^FIRST_UID' -e '^LAST_UID' /etc/adduser.conf
