    to add the following to /etc/csh.login og /etc/profile:

    mail < /dev/null > /dev/null -s "login at `date`" me@mydomain.com

    I understand that me@mydomain.com will receive a message with the time someone logged in without the one loggin in being able to see it.

    Does anyone else use it?

    Thanks
    John

    Your subject got my attention..... "Security: is it a good idea?" :D


    I don't currently use that but I may start to. It seems like a good idea to at least have a log of the user's that have logged in in case something did happen.

    I suppose if you're really strict on security, you could be notified when they log in and watch what they're doing the entire time but that gets expensive when you think about how much support and staff time it would take up.

    Is this log for shell access only?

    This is a really nice Idea!!!
    You can also use
    last -i ==> to see who logged in
    last command shows the info for the whole Month i.e it starts from 1st of every month.

    Hope this helps!
