getprpw question

[dictum9]

I am trying to find the last time a user has logged in, and I am running getprpw but the output is always "llog=-1", why is that?


# /usr/lbin/getprpw -l -m llog root
llog=-1

The correct parameter is slogint

/usr/lbin/getprpw -m slogint userxyz

Hi:

According to the man pages (a wonderful source of information), a value of -1 indicates that the field has not been assigned a value in the database.

If you have basic user-login accounting enabled (i.e. '/var/adm/wtmp' has been created), you could use:

# last -R root

This question is essentially the same one you asked here:

The answer was provided in 2 responses to that question, one explicitly, the other by reference to the getprpw man page.
