Last - a utility ala UNIX last This utility is only useful for those with Supervisor access, since as Novell comes, SYS:SYSTEM\NET$ACCT.DAT is only accessable by the Supervisor. Normally the information contained in this file is only readable with the PAudit utility. I decided to write my own utility which displays much of the same info, but in a manner that I prefer. I've found this utility handy to determine the logon patterns of particular users or logon usages of certain machines. There is other info in the NET$ACCT.DAT file, but Last only pays attention to logons and logouts. For example: F:\>last rthomas RTHOMAS C0DE0001:0000C037F841 1994 Sep 01 07:55 - 1994 Sep 01 16:57 RTHOMAS C0DE0001:0000C037F841 1994 Sep 02 08:02 - 1994 Sep 02 16:55 RTHOMAS C0DE0001:0000C037F841 1994 Sep 03 08:08 - 1994 Sep 03 16:54 RTHOMAS C0DE0001:0000C037F841 1994 Sep 04 07:57 - 1994 Sep 04 16:31 Also, if you keep backups of the NET$ACCT.DAT file you can run last against those with the -f switch. Enjoy the program. Source for Microsoft Assembler 6.0 is provided, so if you make updates, please send them to me. Randy Thomas rthomas@pe.com Dec. 12, 1994
