sudo last login message and how to turn it off FreeBSD8.0

2010-06-24 Thread Martin McCormick 
I have actually seen this on some FreeBSD6.3 systems and thought
it was a querk. It may still be a querk but it has started again
on an 8.0 system. I think I am doing something to cause it, but
I am not sure.

When one executes a sudo command, I get a last login
message which reflects the last time I ran sudo. Example:

[mar...@pilot ~]$ sudo whoami
Password:
Last login: Thu Jun 24 13:07:20 from pilot.it.okstate
root

There is another FreeBSD8.0 system here that has not yet
behaved this way so I did something to the test system to make
it start.

Any ideas as to what to look at?

Thank you.

Martin McCormick

/usr/local/etc/pam.d/sudo probably.  The 'last login' message usually
comes from login(1), but I don't see why sudo(8) would invoke login
unless you were running 'sudo -i ...'

Cheers,

Matthew

I experienced the same problem and I just disabled /var/log/{userlog,lastlog}:

# ls -ltro /var/log/|grep uchg
-rw---  1 root  wheel  uappnd,uchg,uunlnk  1 May  9 08:59 userlog
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  uappnd,uchg,uunlnk  1 May  9 18:50 lastlog

Hope this helps.

Regards,
