Where are the Users

Hello,

I just got OS X, I was wondering where the Users are stored. What I mean is that in a 'normal' Linux system, there is a /etc/passwd file where all the users are stored with their group ID etc. I found this file but it only works for single user mode and I can't find the Users I created with the Users System Preferences. Where are they stored ?

I would also like to know what OS X executes at startup: which files and it what order. I found the 'rc' file but I am sure that there are some more.

Thanks for your answer,

Romain
 
Thank you very much.
Btw, also, thank you for that wonderfull way to change to location of the Users directory, it worked great for me. Also btw, why doesn't MacOS X have a fstab file to start with. I mean, where does it get the command to mount all the different volumes etc.
