Cliff,
Thanks for the reply.
I have examined the /var/log/messages,
/var/log/messages1,..../var/log/messages4 on my server. Each
contain a week's worth of logins. My server has been up for
about 4 months yet I only have five weeks of log-in records.
This doesn't help if I want to see if a user hasn't use his
account with in several months.
Does your system keep /var/log/messages farther back in time?
