Hi!

I have a really old machine (it has DIN keyboard connector) with OpenBSD 
installed on it that was used as a router and its been sitting 
in the basement for quite a few years. I would like to find out the date 
when the machine was last shutdown.

What would be the best way to go about looking for that info?

I have two options as far as i can see but have not tried any of them to
avoid messing up the date of last boot/shutdown:
1. Boot the machine and check the log files in /var/log
2. Attach the disk drive to another machine and mount the partition and
  also check the info on some files

Also, one important caveat. There is a good chance i won't be able to
guess the password anymore. I think i know what it is, but i'm not sure
since it was so long ago.
Therefore booting into single user mode is probably the only choice for
option 1.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Br, Ales
