    from the terminal you can type:

    w -&gt; tells you who is currently logged in.

    last -&gt; tells you the last logins from the wtmp file

    ac [user] -&gt; tells you how much time (total) a user has been on the system.



    /var/log/wtmp is the log file that contains all login information. It is not in ascii.



    I have never used any tools to monitor the system to say when someone logs in, but I'm sure you can do it somehow.
