Savita Chauhan,
Btw, I am running AIX.
I tried
>>last <login-id>
and returned
wtmp begins Nov 22 14:03
>>who -m | awk '{ print $6 }'
did not return anything.
What does above mean and how do I get the IP address of the machine from
where the user logged in on a particular date?
Also, is there a way of know what transaction (UniData) was done by a
user on a particular day?
Thanks all for responding.

I'm assuming you are on a unix platform. If not, go ahead and delete
this.
If you really need to determine where someone was sitting, you will need
to
know both who and when the requisition was authorized. Then, you will
need
to parse through the utmp files. On hpux, the command is "last -R
<userid>". On linux, the command is "last <userid>". Depending on your
setup, that should show you info you need. I really doubt this will
help
you, since you specified November 2003. Most utmp files don't go over
one
year.
Going forward, there is probably an easier method, but I get this
information by capturing the output from a who command. If you are
telneting to a windows server, I do not know what the equivalent is.
Depending on the unix flavor, the command could be either "who -mR",
"who
-mx", or even "who -m --login". Once you capture the output, the ip
address
will be at the end, usually the sixth field. You can parse this with
awk if
you need this in a script, or FIELD if you need it in Unibasic.
Please keep in mind, if users do not have secure passwords and/or leave
their desktops unlocked, this will not provide a 100% secure method of
tracking who did what.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
This question is probably for someone who is a UniData administrator and
system administrator with a little knowledge of Networking.
We have a Requisitions file with on the fields as who authorized person
a
particular requisition. This field is in an association because several
people have to authorize a requisition.
I want to know from which machine (the IP address) a particular person
authorized a requisition in Nov 2003. Assuming that we use static IP
addressing.
Can someone please direct me on how to do this? Is there a way I can see
the
transactions performed by UniData?
Thanks in advance.
Savita.
