Rather than just those in group 100, or with a with a numeric ID above
some threshold, you might also consider all accounts that have a login
other than false or nologon:

$ getent passwd | egrep -v ":/bin/false$" | cut -d : -f 1,5

Should give you the username, and associated contact info of all those
who could ostensibly log in.
