.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
These functions operate on the user accounting database which stores
|
|
|
|
records of various system activities, such as user login and logouts,
|
|
|
|
but also system startups and shutdowns and modifications to the system's
|
|
|
|
clock.
|
|
|
|
The system stores these records in three databases, each having a
|
|
|
|
different purpose:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
|
|
.It Pa /var/run/utx.active
|
|
|
|
Log of currently active user login sessions.
|
|
|
|
This file is similar to the traditional
|
|
|
|
.Pa utmp
|
|
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
This file only contains process related entries, such as user login and
|
|
|
|
logout records.
|
|
|
|
.It Pa /var/log/utx.lastlogin
|
|
|
|
Log of last user login entries per user.
|
|
|
|
This file is similar to the traditional
|
|
|
|
.Pa lastlog
|
|
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
This file only contains user login records for users who have at least
|
|
|
|
logged in once.
|
|
|
|
.It Pa /var/log/utx.log
|
|
|
|
Log of all entries, sorted by date of addition.
|
|
|
|
This file is similar to the traditional
|
|
|
|
.Pa wtmp
|
|
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
This file may contain any type of record described below.
|
|

.El

Each entry in these databases is defined by the structure

The

|
|
|
.It Fa ut_id
|
|
|
|
An identifier that is used to refer to the entry.
|
|
|

This identifier can be used to remove or replace a login entry by
|
|

writing a new entry to the database containing the same value for
|
|
|
|
.Fa ut_id .

|
entries this entry typically contains the name of the login process.
|
|
|
|
.It Fa ut_line
|

The name of the TTY character device, without the leading
|
|
|
|

2010-01-22 05:09:10 +00:00
|
|
|
.Fn pututxline
|
|
|
|
function deviates from the standard by writing its records to multiple
|
|
|
|
database files, depending on its
|
|
|
|
.Fa ut_type .
|
|
|
|
This prevents the need for special utility functions to update the other
|
|
|
|
databases, such as the
|
2010-02-03 19:31:02 +00:00
|
|
|
.Fn updlastlogx
|
|
|
|
and

|
functions which are available in other implementations.

It also tries to replace

|
|
|
|
entries in the active sessions database when storing

|
entries and no entry with the same value for

|
|
|
.Fa ut_id
|
|
|
|
has been found.
|
|
|
|
The standard always requires a new entry to be allocated, which could
|
2010-01-22 05:19:51 +00:00
|
|
|
cause an unbounded growth of the database.
