How to Display the User's Login Status

Language:

Before You Begin

To use the logins command, you must become an administrator who is assigned either the User Management or the User Security rights profile. By default, the root role has this authorization. For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.3.

Display a user's login status by using the logins command.
```
# logins -x -l username
```
–x

Displays an extended set of login status information.

–l username

Displays the login status for the specified user. The variable username is a user's login name. Multiple login names are separated by commas.

The logins command uses the appropriate password database to obtain a user's login status. The database can be the local /etc/passwd file, or a password database for the naming service. For more information, see the logins(1M) man page.
