last login date

Sanjiv Sharma_1 — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 09:24:56 GMT

Upon login the user receive a message showing the last login date in HP-UX 11.11 with trusted mode configuration.

For example:
login: abcdefg
Password:
Last successful login for abcdefg: Tue Apr 24 10:02:20 SST-8 2007 on pts/ta
Last unsuccessful login for abcdefg: Tue Apr 17 16:37:50 SST-8 2007
Please wait...checking for disk quotas

From which file does it execute the command/scripts to give the last login date? Thanks in advance.

Those data are stored in the TCB database. You can examine them using the getprpw command or use a text editor to view the files directly in /tcb/files/auth/first_char_of_login/login.

Note: The times are stored in epoch seconds.

In trusted mode you can see this information by:

Last successful
# /usr/lbin/getprpw -m slogint abcdefg

Last unsuccessful
# /usr/lbin/getprpw -m ulogint abcdefg

(where abcdefg is the appropriate user id)

And since you are on 11.11, there is a man page for getprpw that gives details on what you can get from the getprpw command.

If you do:

/usr/lbin/getprpw abcdefg

You will see a lot of info about the user.

/usr/lbin/getprpw did help to some extent. Thanks
