Great! Thanks very much

---------- Post updated at 01:47 PM ---------- Previous update was at 10:57 AM ----------

Well, apparently it doesn't work that way though. I need to get the files from /var/log with .bz2 extension and decompress them. this is where "last" command access and reads the wtmp file to get data when you use "finger" command.
The question is: without sudo or su permission how can I decompress thos bz2 files and put all of them together. because there are plenty of them in /var/log
Thanks.
