That would be logged in the file /var/log/wtmp* -- current login information is in /var/run/utmp. Sameer, what you want to do depends on how you are logging in -- sshd doesn't call login(1) (is this accurate? I'm guessing, here.) and as such won't produce similar messages to say, a telnet login. However, on my system, both sshd and telnet log originating IP: Nov 11 05:48:20 omega sshd[2215]: Accepted password for project10 from #host# port 21034 ssh2 Nov 11 05:49:00 omega login: login from #host# on ttyp2 as project10 Don't ask me how I got them to do that. I believe sshd does that automagically. --------- Shawn Lussier On Sun, 11 Nov 2001, Wade Majors wrote: > Last login: Sun Nov 11 03:43:14 2001 from ezri.ezri.org <==== > Copyright (c) 1980, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994 > The Regents of the University of California.
