Hi,

I wonder if anyone knows how to perform a full audit
of a debian system.
ie grok every user/system account that exists?

Thanks.

HI Mark,

I think there are 2 things you can try.

1)pipe the /etc/passwd file to the console and inspect
that [execute: 'cat /etc/passwd'] 

2)if you are looking to check out simply who is
currently logged into your system, just run a who
query [execute: 'w'] 

On most systems there is no need to be root while
carrying out either of these procedures. 

Hope that helps or puts you in the right direction at
least.
