<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hello,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">At the risk of sounding like a complete
noob, I need to ask a couple simple questions about security...</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Other than just going to the /home directory
and seeing all the user directories in there, is there another way to determine
what user accounts exist on the machine?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Also, I need to determine which security
groups each user belongs to. I checked out the /etc/group file but
that doesn't seem to jive with what is produced when I type 'groups' at
the command line. ex. I can see that My user id is part of the 'ldap'
group in the group file but when I run groups there is an additional group
that I am a part of that is not reflected in the group file. Here
is the output from my queries:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> grep -i 'pp43157' /etc/group</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> ldap:x:600:pp24438,pp25730,pp25902,pp43157,pp43231,pp19617</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> grep -i 'ldap' /etc/group</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> ldap:x:600:pp24438,pp25730,pp25902,pp43157,pp43231,pp19617</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> groups</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> mantas ldap</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> grep -i 'mantas' /etc/group</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> informat:x:700:mantas,pp18623,stx0001</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> mantas:x:800:</font>
