where to find logs for getting info who login

[jason zeng]

Hi, Cameron,

Thanks for your prompt response. I still has problem, please help.

I go to /usr/log, only found wtmp.1, and I could not use vi to see it, what should I need to do next? if the files deleted by someone who made mistake, can I get it back ?

Thanks.

Regards,
Jason Zeng

The wtmp file is the traditional place. The "last" command lists recent
logins for you.

Could be a fatal error.
Have a pen handy?
