Last login with year
'last' command gives me date and time the user has logged in last. But how to get the date with year?

last command reads from wtmp.. you sure that wtmp is since the last year?

How old is your oldest /var/log/wtmp* file, I doubt that this is the issue you think it is (you could test with a wtmp > 12months old of course.

If you did a little search in the forums, you would have found e.g.

There is no file starting with wtm in /var/log.

There is a file /var/adm/wtmpx. It is dated today. I am working in SUN-OS

Yes.. that is the file Soham, last reads from that file /var/adm/wtmpx.

Since it does not have data of last one year. You cannot view it with last command.
It nullifies after every reboot.

Sun solaris 10:
Code:
-rw-r--r--   1 root     bin        20460 Jan 26 13:45 utmpx
-rw-r--r--   1 adm      adm       400644 Jan 26 13:45 wtmpx
lo4:/var/adm $ uname -r

Now where is fwtmp on your system? Use the man pages!!

Code:
