NAME

       chklastlog - check lastlog-file for deleted entries

SYNOPSIS

       chklastlog

DESCRIPTION

       Chklastlog  is  reading  all  entries from the file /var/log/wtmp (file
       with informations about logins and logouts) and checks for  every  user
       found   in   this   file   whether  there  is  an  entry  in  the  file
       /var/log/lastlog, too. The program will  complain  about  userids  with
       logins but no lastlogin information.

       To  run  chklastlog you need read permission on the files /var/log/wtmp
       and /var/log/lastlogin. Normally these files are world-readable and  no
       special privileges are required to run the checker.

FILES

       /var/log/wtmp       login data base
       /var/log/lastlog    last login times

SEE ALSO

       wtmp(4), who(1), last(1)

LIMITATIONS

       This  program  only  works  if  the  user  has  not logged in after the
       deletion of their lastlog entry.

       This program was designed to run on SunOS 4.x systems  only.  On  other
       systems the output is undefined...
