if you mean to find how many users are logged on to your linux box _now_,
you may use the 'w' command under a shell (i.e. open a terminal window,
and type 'w'). if you want to know how many user accunts exist on your
system, you may look at the '/etc/passwd' file - every line there
represents one user account. note that several user accounts are created
automatically when you installed red-hat linux, to serve various system
needs (e.g. 'root', 'nobody', 'daemon' and so on).

if you wanted to know something else, please write again, with more
details
