I recently saw the program which runs through the lastlog file and
produces an output list of usernames and lastlogs. It's slick, I like
it, and I'm wondering if there is something similar for lastcomm
files.

At this site, the accounting information is archived every evening.
While the "last" command has a -f (file) option, "lastcomm" does not.
Is there anyone out there who wrote a hack to parse through it
correctly, and if not, does anyone know the file format?


My thanx to the net...Ace
