Hi Guys,

Apologises in advance if this has already been covered. But couldn't find anything with a search.

How do you work out in dd/mm/yy the "time_last_login" from /etc/security/lastlog ?

I take it this is in Julien date format?

Thanks in advance.

The value of "time_last_login" is the number of second since 01/01/1970......
 
You can use this :

perl -wle 'print scalar localtime(eval shift);' XXX

Ex : perl -wle 'print scalar localtime(eval shift);' 1095691952

Returns :
Mon Sep 20 16:52:32 2004
 
Thanks guys. The perl script works like a charm.
