in reply to View last login times of everyone on your system

Hi, I finally got around to trying this script on my Linux system, and it has a problem where it only reports for root UID 0. When running the script: 
root     0       Mon Jan 19 09:02:58 2004     tty1

but when I run "lastlog -u zentara" I can get 
zentara    tty6           Mon Jan 19 09:03:13 -0500 2004

in addition to root. I tried messing with your script, but had no luck. Any reason why?

    On Linux, the lastlog.h is different. Since I don't have access to a Linux system, I can't look there, but you need to examine the header file and figure out the right sizes for the struct. Apparently it's not "8" and "256".

      OK, on linux it's 
      my $struct_lastlog = "L a32 a256";
