Re: log in warning????

Hi Tony,

I did what you said to do. I had my wife logging to my box over the net thruogh my ftp server using the anonymous account and I didn't get a message that she logged into my box.  I also tried telneting to my box and still no message. Using a real account and still got no message.  I checked my messages log and all the logins are in the file but I would like to just check my xconsole window while in a normal account. So I don't have to open a root window and run ftpwho or tail the message file.

Thanks For the help

Put his in /etc/profile:

# The following tells root when someone logs in.
rooton=`/usr/bin/w | /bin/grep -c -e ^root`
currdate=`/bin/date`
if [ "$rooton" != "0" ] ; then
        echo "$LOGNAME logged in $currdate" | /usr/bin/write root
fi

This will write a message to your console. This is disabled by default in
RH systems. You'll have to enable it using "mesg y" in your
/root/.bash_profile.
