[Solved] Last Login Log
Hello again

I am using SLES Enterprise 9, and 10 and I was hoping I could implement a user login logs like how medusa does for HP-UX. Is there an equivalent tool for Linux? I am heavily depended on /var/log/lastlog and last commands but surely there must be something more out there.

Or if anyone has medusa for Linux and is willing to share it it would be great!

Thank you

Ok, this is what I did. I googled for logwatch (apparently this is the only thing they have for free, and it works great with Linux) and downloaded the tarball. The report comes out like this:

Code:
my-xftp0:~ # logwatch

But is there anything else out there? I am also not sure on how to tweak logwatch

---------- Post updated at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous update was at 06:34 PM ----------

Also I checked the services available for logwatch in /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services and it doesn't track wtmp logs, I was hoping if anyone would know on how to add this to the logwatch monitoring. I am terrible at scripting!

mkdevmaps(1M)                                             System Administration Commands                                             mkdevmaps(1M)

NAME

       mkdevmaps - make device_maps entries

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/mkdevmaps

DESCRIPTION

       The  mkdevmaps  command  writes  to standard out a set of device_maps(4) entries describing the system's frame buffer, audio, and removable
       media devices.

       The mkdevmaps command is used by the init.d(4) scripts to create or update the /etc/security/device_maps file.

       Entries are generated based on the device special files found in /dev. For the different  categories  of  devices,  the  mkdevmaps  command
       checks for the following files under /dev:

       audio           /dev/audio, /dev/audioctl, /dev/sound/...
       tape            /dev/rst*, /dev/nrst*, /dev/rmt/...
       floppy          /dev/diskette, /dev/fd*, /dev/rdiskette, /dev/rfd*
       removable disk  /dev/dsk/c0t?d0s?, /dev/rdsk/c0t?d0s?
       frame buffer    /dev/fb
