The perl version is probably faster but if for some reason you don't
have perl and you don't mind it being slightly slower:

% cat > users.sh
#!/bin/sh
USERS=`who|sort|awk '{print $1}'`
echo $USERS
^D
% chmod +x users.sh
% users.sh
bambam barney betty dino dino fred pebbles wilma

I'd say that's pretty minimal.  Of course it assumes that your shell
can handle back quotes reasonably and that the user name is the first
field in the output of "who" but nobody's perfect.  If you want to cut
out reports of repeat logins, just add a "-u" parameter to the "sort".
