Hi,

Refer /var/adm/wtmp and wtmps files. I think it takes from these files.

Hi,

The last login information is output by login on trusted systems so you won't find that in any scripts.

You can set the warn period for a password by using "passwd -w" after which the users will get a warning message on login.

If you want to see the expiration times for an account use "logins -a -l ". Other than the user and group info, this will give 2 number - the first is the number of days to passwd expiration and the second is the date of passwd expiration
