The + login-name, port, and + last login time will be printed. The default (no + flags) causes lastlog entries to be printed, sorted by their order in + /etc/passwd. + + + + + OPTIONS + + The options which apply to the lastlog command are: + + + + + ,  DAYS + + + + Print only lastlog records older than DAYS. + + + + + + , + + + + Clear lastlog record of a user. This option can be used only together + with ()). + + + + + + , + + + Display help message and exit. + + + + + ,  CHROOT_DIR + + + + Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR + directory and use the configuration files from the + CHROOT_DIR directory. + Only absolute paths are supported. + + + + + + , + + + + Set lastlog record of a user to the current time. This option can be + used only together with ()). + + + + + + ,  DAYS + + + + Print the lastlog records more recent than + DAYS. + + + + + + ,  LOGIN|RANGE + + + + Print the lastlog record of the specified user(s). + + + The users can be specified by a login name, a numerical user ID, + or a RANGE of users. This + RANGE of users can be specified with a + min and max values (UID_MIN-UID_MAX), a + max value (-UID_MAX), or a min value + (UID_MIN-). + + + + + + + If the user has never logged in the message ** Never logged + in** will be displayed instead of the port and time. + + + + Only the entries for the current users of the system will be + displayed. Other entries may exist for users that were deleted + previously. + + + + + NOTE + + The lastlog file is a database which contains info + on the last login of each user. You should not rotate it. It is a sparse + file, so its size on the disk is usually much smaller than the one shown + by "ls -l" (which can indicate a really big file if + you have in passwd users with a high UID). You can + display its real size with "ls -s". + + + + + CONFIGURATION + + The following configuration variables in + /etc/login.defs change the behavior of this + tool: + + + &LASTLOG_UID_MAX; + + + + + FILES + + + /var/log/lastlog + + Database times of previous user logins. + + + + + + + CAVEATS + + Large gaps in UID numbers will cause the lastlog program to run + longer with no output to the screen (i.e. if in lastlog database there + is no entries for users with UID between 170 and 800 lastlog will appear + to hang as it processes entries with UIDs 171-799). + + + Having high UIDs can create problems when handling the + /var/log/lastlog with external tools. Although the + actual file is sparse and does not use too much space, certain + applications are not designed to identify sparse files by default and may + require a specific option to handle them. + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
