logins

[charles d]

I want to know how to see all the logins of a certain user on my linux server. I tried: "last username¦head" but it doesn't work.
Can someone help me. Thanks

You could try to run last 'user' or lastb 'user' where user is the desired user name,that would show all the logins for that user from wtmp or btmp.Hope this helps.

When I do "last 'user'" It doesn't do anything. It stops in a new line. It's like if its waiting for something

lastb doesn't work

Now when i said 'user' you would type your user name,whatever it is.Here's what i get

paul@blazebox:~$ su
Password:
root@blazebox:/home/paul# lastb paul
paul Sun Jan 7 17:42 - 17:42 (00:00)
paul Sun Jan 7 15:32 - 15:32 (00:00)
paul Sat Dec 16 17:13 - 17:13 (00:00)
paul Mon Nov 27 13:00 - 13:00 (00:00)
paul Mon Nov 27 01:19 - 01:19 (00:00)
paul Sun Nov 12 11:53 - 11:53 (00:00)

btmp begins Sun Nov 12 11:53:16 2000
root@blazebox:/home/paul#

WHere my 'user' is name paul,is this clear now?Hope it helps this time...
