Login history

September 13, 2006

This is more of a reference for myself because I keep forgetting it. The command last is used to pull up the login history for the active account. This is a handy little command to see if your account has been a little more active than it should have been (though any good hacker would have erased the information). I also find it handy if I have forgotten the IP address of my home system.
