Re: [cobalt-users] identifying login by machine

[Gerald Young <me@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

thanks Mathew,
	I was unaware of the 'last' command.
I am going to use this in a shell script to regularly send me details of who has
logged in.

was thinking of regularly running a 'w' and logging but last does the trick.

will also check out  'sulog'

havent been able to find anything that i can use to uniqly identify the machine
logging in by a chip no etc.

so am firing up ssh and going on a learning curve.
best wishes
gerald y
