Re: How can I check last login

Hi:

# last username

...will return the last login times and locations for any "username" (if any exist).

Be advised that this requires '/var/adm/wtmp' to be present for logging to occur. If the file doesn't exist, 'touch' it. Its permissions should be 664 with an ownership of "adm:adm".

Regards!
