LASTLOG2(8)                      User Commands                     LASTLOG2(8)

NAME
       lastlog2 - displays date of last login for all users or a specific one

SYNOPSIS
       lastlog2 [options]

DESCRIPTION
       lastlog2 displays the content of the last-login database. The
       login-name, last-login-time, tty and remote-host will be printed.  By
       default (no flags) all last-login entries are printed, in the order
       they were first written into the database.

       If a user has never logged in, the message **Never logged in** is
       displayed in the last-login-time column.

       Only the entries for the current users of the system are displayed.
       Other entries may exist for users that have meanwhile been deleted.

       Compared to lastlog(8), this command is Y2038-safe, and uses SQLite3
       instead of a sparse file to store the information.

OPTIONS
       -a, --active
           Do not print entries for users who have never logged in.

       -b, --before days
           Print only the last-login records older than days.

       -C, --clear
           Clear the last-login record of a user.  This option can only be
           used together with -u (--user).

       -i, --import file

           in the lastlog2 database will be overwritten.

       -r, --rename newname
