SCO 5.0.0 login/logout informaiton 1

[tb1254]

OS: SCO 5.0.0

I need to be able to list all the logins and logouts including any unsucessfull ones. I have looked in the adminstrators guide, and I am somewhat sure this information is located in the /etc/utmp and /etc/wtmp files but they are both compacted or encrypted.

Any help you all could provide would be great.

The output from the last command does not give me what I am am looking for (the last command only gives me the user logins but not any invalid logins). I need to see both the valid and and invalid logins.

Just to add, in the system administrator quide chapter 5 it said to make a log of the unsecsessful logins just make a file called loginlog in the /usr/adm directory. I have done so giving both owner/group to audit and still I can't get it to log the unsecessful logins. What I am doing wrong?

you may need to reinit init.

I tried relinking the kernel, then rebooting and still nothing. I must be missing some step somewehere?

try it with these permissions.


/var/adm/loginlog

Problem solved as good as it will be. What I missed that the loginlog file gets populated after 5 unsucessful logins and that parameter can't be changed.
