If you don't mind a couple of nits:
You probably want to note that this will collect users from, for example, NIS
or LDAP directories when run, not just "local" /etc/passwd users. Different
people have different views on what "local" means in that case and I have been
caught by that before.
You can replace the grep, awk, echo, sed set with the more efficient:
/bin/getent passwd | /bin/awk -F: '/\/home/ {printf $1 ","}'
