The command to use is `lastb' from package sysvinit. Relevant data is stored in /var/log/btmp, but only if that file already exists. If it doesn't exist, create it (as superuser) with the command `touch /var/log/btmp'. See `man last' for full details. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP key from public servers; key ID 32B8FAA1 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
