How do I get the system to display the last successful login and the last unsuccessful login when a user is logging in to a system?

use lastb to get the last bad logins
/usr/bin/lastb -3 ${LOGNAME}

'last' command for good login and 'lastb' for bad logins!

If you wanted it for all users, then you would use the last and lastb commands is /etc/profile

last -1 ${LOGNAME}
lastb -1 ${LOGNAME}

Hi,

If your system is trusted, this info is automatically displayed whenever the user logs in.

Hope this helps.

Actually, last -1 ${LOGNAME} doesn't really tell you the last successful login... it tells you the current successful login in this case (since the user is the one specified by ${LOGNAME}). I think you'd actually want to do something like this:

last -2 ${LOGNAME} | tail -1
