Hello team,

Is there anyway to find the correct sudoers file in a remote unix servers, which has multiple sudoers file at different location?

Thanks

Modify the file with 'visudo' (which will modify the correct sudoers file). Then look at all sudoers files for the one with the most recent modification time.

Also, when you invoke 'visudo' the path to current sudoers.tmp file will be shown at the bottom of the screen. This should be the location of the sudoers file as well.

Hi,
Check /usr/local/etc/sudoers or /etc/sudoers

As root, run "sudo -V". It will display a lot of information about the compiled-in defaults of sudo... including the full path of the sudoers file it uses.

If you run "sudo -V" as a non-root user, it will only display the version number.

Example:

$ sudo -V
Sudo version 1.6.9p17
$

---------
# sudo -V
Sudo version 1.6.9p17

Sudoers path: /etc/sudoers
Authentication methods: 'pam'
Syslog facility if syslog is being used for logging: authpriv
Syslog priority to use when user authenticates successfully: notice
Syslog priority to use when user authenticates unsuccessfully: alert
