Re: [cobalt-users] identifying login by machine

["Matthew Bowman" <mbowman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

To identify who has logged on from where and their current process type in w
at the prompt

e.g.

[admin@raq01 admin]$ w
 11:27am  up 102 days, 14:34,  1 user,  load average: 2.20, 2.19, 2.32
USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU  WHAT
admin    pts/0      123.123.123.00 11:27am  0.00s  0.15s  0.06s  w

as you will notice the w command also gives the uptime output

Also have a look at the 'last' command which gives you a history of who has
logged on from where also sulog to see who lasted used the 'su' command.
