i will be changing the passwords on all user accounts. how would i make sure that there are no rogue accounts that i don't know of... like a back door account?

Well theres thousands of places to put a backdoor. Although I doubt if they where your sys admin they would open ports and hide things.

Just remove the accounts, change all passwords, make sure there are no ssh keys, in the .ssh folder for each account.

Check /etc/group for users in the wheel group.

Don't forget about your SUDO configuration.

CODE
user       ALL=(ALL) /bin/bash, su


Stuff like that should probably be removed. icon_razz.gif
