Usage Information

Only the system and security administrators can configure login activity tracking and view the login activity details of other users.

If you enable user login statistics, the system displays the last successful login details of the current user and the details of any failed login attempts by others.

If you use the login statistics time-period days command to set a custom time period, the system only reports the login statistics during that interval.

NOTE: Login statistics is not applicable for login sessions that do not use user names for authentication. For example, the system does not report login activity for a telnet session that prompts only a password field.

Example

When you login to the system, it displays a message similar to the following:

$ telnet 10.11.178.14
                                             Trying 10.11.178.14...

                                             Escape character is '^]'.
