I think we could use pwd?
import pwd all_users = [pw.pw_name for pw in pwd.getpwall()] (same with grp for groups)

Unfortunately, this is not possible because testinfra only executes Unix commands on the remote host.

We need some functionality to query all user names as well as all group names. I implemented in two functions:
getent passwdresp.getent groupcat /etc/passwdresp.cat /etc/groupSmall tests of all functions are also part of this pull request.
What do you think about such functionality?
