Use `last | less` and see who actually logged in when you did the approval, 
then see what they did while logged on.

For instance, mine looks like:

   michael  pts/3        shed.jamhome.us  Sun Feb 19 13:29   still logged in   
   michael  pts/0        shed.jamhome.us  Sun Feb 19 10:28   still logged in   
   gritton  pts/3        c-174-52-130-208 Mon Feb 13 21:53 - 21:53  (00:00)    
   michael  pts/1        shed.jamhome.us  Mon Feb 13 15:50   still logged in   
   michael  pts/0        hive.michaelsnet Sun Feb 12 05:16 - 06:10  (00:53)    
   gritton  pts/0        c-174-52-133-59. Sun Feb  5 19:15 - 19:16  (00:01)    
   michael  pts/4        shed.jamhome.us  Sun Feb  5 05:14 - 05:33  (00:19)    
   
   wtmp begins Sun Feb  5 05:14:05 2012

There's me logging in from two other hosts on the local net and (Jamie) Gritton
logging in for a minute or so once a week.

Alternatively you can examine /var/log/auth.log for the time you're intested
in and see if you approved an ftp, ssh or ____? login
