Sorry bro, Im finding it tedious manipulating 'date' command with 'last' command.. Here's a very simple one, as I've other urgent tasks at hand.Smilie I don't have a unix system now to test this script.Pls execute and let me know.Smilie

!#/bin/ksh
for user in ` sed 's/:.*$//' /etc/passwd ` ; do
finger ${user} >> /tmp/logins
done
cat /tmp/logins|grep -v "bin|sys|adm|lp|smtp|daemon|uucp|listen|nobody|noacces|nobody4" >> /tmp/login-info
rm /tmp/logins

then have a look at the output to see which user has not logged in for some time.

from here onwards, you might want to see sorting the date column or grepping for a value.Smilie

Last login

In some environments finger won't give you the last login correctly.
Depending on how your users are set up you might look at the access times of files like .bash_history .profile .bashrc in their home directories.
It's not perfect but it may help and using find makes it easy.

Yes I agree . By cd-ing to the users' home dir and perform ls -rt, you will see the last modified date of the last file. Can find out from there too.
