when I run the last and lastb command the second Column looks like this pts/tb. My question is what does the tb stand for also the tb will vary from te,tg,tc,tj,tf,t1,ti and 0. Can anybody explain this to me. And can i use this to figure out where people are logging in from.
 
try running last -R, this should resolve the IP addresses for you. Also the tty/tb is an abbreviation of the full pseuto device that user connected to, like /dev/pts/tb.
