Because /var/log/lastlog can be a directory. In this case sshd creates files under /var/log/lastlog directory with the name of the user and each file only contains logininfo records for that user. We're just missing a lastlog tool which allows examining the lastlog file(s). It's part of the pwdutils package from http://www.thkukuk.de/pam/pwdutils/ *hint, hint* Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
