AIX

I am trying to find out the information of my local desktop when i use putty to login to an AIX server.
This is what I do:
1. login to my PC
2. take a putty session to an AIX server
Can i get information of my local desktop from the AIX server ? Is there a command available ?

Thanks

Simple answer. No.

It depends what you want.Doing either of these requires the PC to be running the services to allow the connection and the network firewall rules to be open (if you have one)

If you just want the IP address of the connection or the DNS name of your PC, then those are much easier.


What's the requirement?

I am not really sure what do you mean by those two questions, but one can know the IP address/Hostname of a source server and (time of login, time stayed on the destination server). This can be achieved by running last command.

Thanks for the reply..
the 'last' command works fine.

This is what i am trying to do.
Say, for example, an user logs into the AIX server from his local desktop via a putty session.
The user logs into his local desktop using his ID
I want to capture the logon and logoff time of the user into the AIX server.
And this has to be done from within the AIX server.

More like auditing user logons into AIX server.

The last command works perfectly fine for capturing who logged on at what time and date and possibly the desktop hostname/pc/asset id .

Thanks...1 final question.
Does the 'last' command work for RHEL, HP-UX and Solaris servers ?
If not, is there an alternate command for these servers ?

Thanks
