SSH Display date/time of last login

[R_77]

Does anyone know how to get SSH (Ver 3.2.2) to display the date and time when a user logs in. I found a variable for the SSH config file call PrintLastLog but it does not work with Ver 3.2.2

Thanks

Perhaps try a version of ssh thats newer.

The reason for subsequent releases may have been that this and other features did not work.

I use OpenSSH_3.9, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004, HP-UX Secure Shell-A.03.91.002.

The system is set to trusted - when logging on it shows the banner: Last successful login for admin: Thu Nov 10 15:53:50 EET-2EETDST 2005 on tty
Last unsuccessful login for admin: Tue Nov 8 18:37:42 EET-2EETDST 2005

What you could do:
1. upgrade system to trusted and verify if it works for you. If not, go to 2.
2. install a newer version

Hope this helps,

You can use last and lastb commans in /etc/profile to give successful and unsuccesful login informations.

--- /etc/profile ---

echo "LAST Successful Login : $(last -R $LOGNAME | head -1)"
echo "LAST Unsuccessful Login : $(lastb -R $LOGNAME | head -1)"

It will give those informations.

Check

grep ^PrintLastLog /opt/ssh/etc/sshd_config

but this shouldn't normally appear in your ssh server's conf file, as it is the default behavior.
But someone may have set it to no.
