How to check user rights ?

Hi,

Is there a tool/script that gives me a print of the total user information about there rights ?
Like a blue-print of the total Linux security regarding users.
What can they do on the system.

Thanks!

afaik, there's only two types of user in Linux system: root, and normal users where root user will have a UID of 0 (Zero), unlike windows NT family - power user, backup operator, administrator, blablabla

a file is own by a user, as well as a group, and permission is controlled thru the magical rwxrwxrwx permission.

Goog on chmod tutorial and you'll find plenty of resources on the topic, like this or this

So, there is no know tool or script that is creating a report of passwd and groups together like:

user | name | home dir | shell | member of groups:..... |etc......

If you have a lot of users this would be handy ?

Thanks.

yes, and i use webmin ;)

maybe you should take a peek in /etc/passwd......

Code:

---

bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/bin/false
daemon:x:2:2:daemon:/sbin:/bin/false
adm:x:3:4:adm:/var/adm:/bin/false
lp:x:4:7:lp:/var/spool/lpd:/bin/false
sync:x:5:0:sync:/sbin:/bin/sync
shutdown:x:6:0:shutdown:/sbin:/sbin/shutdown
halt:x:7:0:halt:/sbin:/sbin/halt

---

Name:x:UID:GID:Groups:Home dir:Shell

Thanks for your update, passwd and webmin ! :P
