i'm not to fimiliar with awk but i want to rip through /etc/passwd and print
out to file all users greater than uid 1001 and less than 65500. I've come
up with this so far;

awk -F: '$3 > 1001 { print $1 }' /etc/passwd > /var/db/user.db

i can't seem to create a statement that will printout both the lbount and
ubound of 1001 and 65500

can someone lend me their thinking cap?

Ryan
