And so do you!  :-)

That you know of.  Auditing, while painful and not fun unless it's
automated, is the solution here. 

John> There’s no additional users in the Sudo file

It's not that easy, since you also need to look in /etc/sudoers.d/ and
also need to parse out group membership and check the sudoers* files
for group entries.  It's *not* trivial.

But again, it's the auditing part that the auditors will be concerned
about.  How to do validate your results?  How do you know that us
powerful sysadmins aren't hacking the reports and ignoring certain
accounts in the reports so that we can hide stuff?  How do you know
someone *else* hasn't hidden a SUID script or program somewhere else
on the system?

It's a damn rathole honestly, and there's a cost vs benefit call you
need to make.  Or more accurately, management needs to make.  100%
security is when the server is off, unplugged from everything and
buried in a hole.  In concrete.  :-)

Be thankful you're not having to go through PCI compliance audits for
handling credit cards, I've heard they're even worse!
