Thank you everyone who answered my question about viewing wtmp. I got a few
interesting answers, some of which were probably local only, some of which
probably work on certain UNIX flavours, and one which works on my Encore.
The responses I got were:
fwtmp - This was supposed to be a command that would find the records in wtmp.
I guess it only works on ATT UNIX SysV. It didn't work on my Encore
Multimax.
who - It was suggested that this would work if I specified wtmp as the
default file, instead of utmp. It didn't work on my system, it gave
me a blank line. This response came from someone at a DEC address, so
it might be and Ultrix command.
last
(or lastlog) - last worked on my Encore, lastlog is unknown, but it probably
works elsewhere.
Again, thanks all. I probably could have found this in TFM, but looking up
wtmp, acct, and everything that they refered to never mentioned that
one.
