Where is the “who” utility? I can’t find it in QNX 6.1. The www.qnx.com
search shows it is there in QNX 4.0.
Is there any security log to audit who/when login occur and from which IP?

The who utility has been deprecated.

Take a look at the docs for the su utility. This tells about the
/etc/acclog file that can be used to obtain accounting information. This
may give you some of what you’re looking for

There are strong push from top and bottom to linux.
Guess what, I don’t blame them.

I’m amazed that “who” is deprecated. This is possibly the stupidest thing
to deprecate. What are they going to deprecate next, “grep”? Soon we’ll
all just be using a GUI and clicking away, just like windoze 
Also, the docs for the “su” utility make absolutely no mention of /etc/acclog…
It only talks about /etc/passwd, login, and passwd.
Can we have our “who” utility back?
On a related note, has “whois” also been deprecated? I don’t have it on my 6.1
system. It’s almost as useful as “who”, so it would stand to reason that it too
would go away, wouldn’t it?
Cheers,

I just ported the BSD version…it’s only about a hundred lines and it took
all of 5 minutes. I’ll put it into our CVS Monday and see if I can get it
on our shiplist for 6.2.

See my response to Kirk above. Our login already keeps a utmp and wtmp so
it’s only a matter of printing the information. Actually, that’s a bit of a
fudge…after you do a `touch /var/log/utmp ; touch /var/log/wtmp’ it keeps
them…
Now the only issue that remains is getting pterms to update
utmp/wtmp as well as login…if you’re only logged into photon I don’t
believe you will show up.
cheers,

It takes more. For ‘who’ to work everything in the system must maintain
utmp/wtmp properly. In Unix that starts with ‘init’ which once was part of
RTP but then was replaced by QNX4-style ‘tinit’ which is not nearly as
useful. Then login, su, phlogin. And then ‘who’ is also supposed to show
what terminal you’re on and what you’re running… Bottom line, it has to be
pervasive to be useful. For example in Solaris my .profile takes care of
automatically setting DISPLAY to whatever host I am telnetting from. Using
‘who’

Our login maintains /var/log/utmp and wtmp if you’ve touched them. I
believe we also do something with lastlog as well but I’ll have to look into
it. Note that pterms don’t seem to do the right thing so I may have to
monkey around to get console users to show up properly.

oops…I meant 'id ’ as in metavariable. And you’re right…I’m
not sure what I was thinking of…it made sense at the time…
Yes,
you’re right…a whois command should probably exist on our boxes. I
wouldn’t expect it does much more than a dns query and a few other normal
things. Probably compiles right out of the box.
