Xenix does have a user log, and logs all users. The log file is called /etc/wtmp, and holds records of each login. It has the exact format of the /etc/utmp file, and a program can be written using the data structures found in #include. You can also display the wtmp file by using the who command: who /etc/wtmp which will read the wtmp file, and so you the login time and date for each user. If the file /etc/wtmp does not exists, then it will not keep a log. If you don't have it, then you can just create one by cat /dev/null > /etc/wtmp. On the flip side, the wtmp files can get enormous if you have a busy system. If you don't need it, removing the file will stop the logging. Kevin kevinr@june.cs.washington.edu
