lastlog − examine lastlog file
lastlog [<-u|--user> login-name]
[<-t|--time> days] [<-h|--help>]
lastlog
formats and prints the contents of the last login log
/var/log/lastlog file . The login-name,
port, and last login time will be printed. The
default (no flags) causes lastlog entries to be printed,
sorted by the numerical UID.
-u, --user login-name will cause the
lastlog record for
login-name only to be printed
-t, --time days will cause only the lastlogins more recent
han fIdays to be printed
-h, --help print
a one-line help message and exit.
The -t flag overrides the use of -u.
If the user has never logged in the message "**Never logged in**" will be displayed instead of the port and time.
/var/log/lastlog − lastlog logging file
Large gaps in uid numbers will cause the lastlog program to run longer with no output to the screen (i.e. if mmdf=800 and last uid=170, program will appear to hang as it processes uid 171-799).
