the command 'last' will not give me the list of the latest access to my
machine, the list stops at a date several weeks ago.
However, the command 'who -a /var/adm/wtmp' takes me right up to today.
I'm confused, advice greatly appreciated.

"last" prints starting from latest day (most likely the current time)Quote:> Using Solaris 7,

1. Where's Finger's 'last login' info stored?
When executing finger it tells where a user last logged in from and at
what time. Where is it getting this information?
I thought for a while it used /etc/wtmp but it's cleared once a week
(here) and finger seems to remember where someone last logged in from for
longer than that.
