- lastlog dead
- Posted by Alythh on January 13th, 2004
I removed erroneously my /var/log/lastlog file some time ago, then
realizing my mistake I created it again, empty (I guess some logging
daemons do not work without an existing log file).
Yet, many weeks passed and my lastlog file remains sad & empty.
Any idea? I checked, but didnt understand which program writes on it
(not syslogd, I checked).
Ah, yes: RedHat7.3, kernel 2.4.18
Thanks!
