Hello,

You can use the "last" command or the "lastb" command to see who has logged in. Try a man on last for more details.

/usr/lbin/getprpw -m slogint username

works for trusted systems.

[Patrick Wallek]

Why would you use "last|grep "? The last command can take a user name as input.

# last user

Will show logins for 'user'.

[Bill Hassell]

The man page is helpful. As Patrick points out, you can limit the last output to a single user. But wait, there's more. Try this:

last -R -10 user_name

This reports only user_name logins (10 most recent) along with the hostname or IP address of the user_name.

you can use

# last -5
