How to check who can su to my user












1















I have lot of users and sudoers is set based on groups. Is there a way I can check which user can su to my user?



Like :



sudo su - myuser


I tried grep my /etc/group file, but it’s not giving me the correct result.
"id" command also gives too many results to check manually.






linux sudo users su

All user with superuser privilege can do so. Superuser privilege is assigned using the file /etc/sudoers , and any file inside /etc/sudoers.d/ provided the directory is included in /etc/sudoers file.



Open the file /etc/sudoers. All user rights and corresponding formats are mentioned there. Check for users having special privileges. Repeat the same process for any file inside the /etc/sudoers.d directory

            Accessing regular linux commands in Huawei's Dopra Linux

            Image
            4 Backstory: I have a Huawei HG8245 router in my house and I want to change the default username/password. I've tried following this guide but the config file always gets reset. My ISP isn't helping either so I'm looking for other ways to accomplish this. The router has telnet access so this seems like a way to change the credentials.
