Hi All!
Just wanted to know if there is a way to find out if the logged in user has
the permission to create a new user in Red hat linux. I guess one way would
be to check in the sudoers file.
Please let me know if anyone has any other ideas.
Thanks!
Rohit

In case you want to restrict all except root user from creating accounts,
following should work:

Which would work if the logged-in user has root among their groups. If not, no.

not,
no.
i also have almost the same problem. Can someone verify if these group
entries are correct . Took them from /etc/group
root : x : 0 : root
bin : x : 1 : root,bin,daemon
sys : x : 3 : root,bin,adm
adm : x : 4 : root,adm,daemon

user permissions.
even if someone has permission on /usr/sbin/useradd.But if he cant get in to
the dir /usr/sbin . Then he cant execute the useradd command.

I've never seen permissions on /usr/sbin locked down so that users couldn't
access any of the commands. On the other hand, I've also never seen /sbin or
/usr/sbin in any ordinary user path, so that to even try, they need to give the
full path (or modify their PATH).
