Perhaps the really bad guys...? In Return of the King, it cites a bunch of times that the Witchking was not ready to fight Gandalf, that Gandalf was great, and all of that, and it kind of makes me think that he might have a decent idea of just who Gandalf is. Which would mean that Sauron knows, but that's almost a given, since Saruman was being manipulated by Sauron, and that would probably mean Sauron's got a pretty good working knowledge of just who these guys are. Plus them helping to oust him from Dol Guldur.
Would Bombadil know? I'm not sure... I generally hate that you can't pin him down to anything. I don't think the Ents knew, because of how Fangorn referred to "young" Saruman. Just thoughts...
