Event logging


Hi

I have a Redhat linux Server.

I would like to configure it in such a way that it displays the last login and logout date and time for a particular when he login to the system.

Currently it displays the last login time and date, but not logout.

Please let me know how to configure it to display both.

Regards

I think a lot of that information may be stored in /var/log/wtmp. However, I'm not that familiar with parsing through wtmp to make any useful information. A script-based way to obtain information is by using the last <username> commandl and then yank out the info you need. For instance, when I type in last neil from the command prompt of one of my servers, I get this:
Code:
neil     pts/198      h10-215-220-46.  Tue Oct 19 15:15 - 16:56  (01:41)
neil     pts/197      h10-215-220-46.  Tue Oct 19 14:33 - 14:58  (00:24)
Username, terminal, hostname I connected from, Date/time when I connected through when I disconnected, and lastly my duration in (HH:MM) format.
