user files

[sbells]

I need to write a script to monitor all users entering an IBM rs6000 box. Where are the files that log every user logging on.

Hi,

command nameed last
can give this information

man last if you want to discover more about /etc/utmp, /var/adm/wtmp and /etc/security/failedlogin files which are used but they are not plain text.

 

[mrn]

use the command `last` to display the logins and logouts

Another interesting file is /var/adm/sulog which contains all the "su" operations, so you can track also when a user becomes another one
