Files Reference
utmp, wtmp, failedlogin File Format
Purpose
Describes formats for user and accounting information.
Description
The utmp file, the wtmp file, and the failedlogin file contain records with user and accounting information.
When a user attempts to logs in, the login program writes entries in two files:
* The /etc/utmp file, which contains a record of users logged into the system.
* The /var/adm/wtmp file (if it exists), which contains connect-time accounting records.
On an invalid login attempt, due to an incorrect login name or password, the login program makes an entry in:
* The /etc/security/failedlogin file, which contains a record of unsuccessful login attempts.
The records in these files follow the utmp format, defined in the utmp.h header file.

login
LOGIN(1) General Commands Manual LOGIN(1)NAME
login - sign on
SYNOPSIS
login [ username ]
DESCRIPTION
The login command is used when a user initially signs on, or it may be used at any time to change from one user to another. The latter
case is the one summarized above and described here. See `How to Get Started' for how to dial up initially.
If login is invoked without an argument, it asks for a user name, and, if appropriate, a password. Echoing is turned off (if possible)
during the typing of the password, so it will not appear on the written record of the session.
After a successful login, accounting files are updated and the user is informed of the existence of .mail and message-of-the-day files.
Login initializes the user and group IDs and the working directory, then executes a command interpreter (usually sh(1)) according to speci-
fications found in a password file. Argument 0 of the command interpreter is `-sh.
Login is recognized by sh(1) and executed directly (without forking).
FILES
/etc/utmp accounting
/usr/adm/wtmp accounting

/etc/motd message-of-the-day
