[arch-general] Login Statistics Similar to Centos
Howdy, I recently was playing with a Centos server. One of the things I found interesting about the experience is the information presented on login: Last login: Tue Aug 29 17:38:48 EDT 2017 on pts/0 Last failed login: Tue Aug 29 17:47:31 EDT 2017 from 116.31.116.18 on ssh:notty There were 37 failed login attempts since the last successful login. How can I get Arch to do that same info? I've searched the wiki and forums, but not found anything. Thanks, Storm -- Powered by Arch Linux!

For your kind info, calling pam_lastlog.so like described in the man
pages is segfaulting on my side.
$ /usr/lib/security/pam_lastlog.so
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I cannot debug further since it hasn't been build with gdb debug
symbols, but this is likely to this issue. [1]

You don't execute pam_lastlog.so directly. [root@centos7test pam.d]# pwd /etc/pam.d [root@centos7test pam.d]# cat login #%PAM-1.0 auth [user_unknown=ignore success=ok ignore=ignore default=bad] pam_securetty.so auth substack system-auth ***auth include postlogin account required pam_nologin.so account include system-auth password include system-auth # pam_selinux.so close should be the first session rule session required pam_selinux.so close session required pam_loginuid.so session optional pam_console.so # pam_selinux.so open should only be followed by sessions to be executed in the user context session required pam_selinux.so open session required pam_namespace.so session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke session include system-auth ***session include postlogin -session optional pam_ck_connector.so (*** prefixed for emphasis. Do not actually put those in a pam config.) [root@centos7test pam.d]# cat postlogin #%PAM-1.0 # This file is auto-generated. # User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run. session [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service !~ gdm* service !~ su* quiet ***session [default=1] pam_lastlog.so nowtmp showfailed ***session optional pam_lastlog.so silent noupdate showfailed (*** prefixed for emphasis. Do not actually put those in a pam config.) As shown, pam is calling the pam_lastlog.so object (which is why you can't execute it; it's not an executable, it's a Shared Object). To do this over SSH, /etc/ssh/sshd_config has UsePam yes (and PrintLastLog yes is enabled by default) -- brent saner https://www.square-r00t.net

Hi, you need to build it and probably, not necessarily, one or the other dependency yourself: [rocketmouse@archlinux tmp]$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/security/pam_lastlog.so /usr/lib/security/pam_lastlog.so is owned by pam 1.3.0-1 [rocketmouse@archlinux tmp]$ asp checkout pam [snip] [rocketmouse@archlinux tmp]$ ls -hl pam/trunk/PKGBUILD -rw-r--r-- 1 rocketmouse rocketmouse 2.1K Sep 1 20:25 pam/trunk/PKGBUILD https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Debug_-_Getting_Traces#General [rocketmouse@archlinux tmp]$ pacman -Qi pam | grep Depends\ On Depends On : glibc cracklib libtirpc pambase Regards, Ralf

Ok. Actually, I saw this was a shared object, and I wondered this is the first time was seeing a SO which was executable. This confirms y assumption :)

I already did knew about this PrintLastLog feature but I wasn't aware
this was PAM responsible of that (I thought this was sshd looking in
wtmp or lastlog manually).
Btw, do you know how to achieve the same behavior but on TTY or in GUI
opening a shell console (then added in the shell conf, like bashrc)? Do
you think we need to parse the output of the "last" command manually, or
do you have any other solution avoiding to reinvent the wheel?
Regards,

Good point! I was half asleep when I replied. Anyway, the advice how to build with debug symbols could be useful for the future ;).

See my last reply. the lastlog stats will print for both TTY and SSH. (From recollection, though, sshd's PrintLastLog is different from PAM's lastlog printing.) Anyways, no need to much about with bashrc. PAM itself prints the lastlog if that module's loaded. I assume. as for a desktop environment... that's a whole 'nother ballgame. You'd want to hook into the messaging/notification system for the DE in that case. -- brent saner https://www.square-r00t.net

Most .so files are executable, albeit for historic reasons... And you don't need to directly execute it. The manpage even has EXAMPLES section that explains how to hook pam_lastlog into your PAM setup. You most likely need to call is with some arguments. For instance, on a fedora 26 system: ---------- : grep pam_lastlog /etc/pam.d/postlogin-ac session [default=1] pam_lastlog.so nowtmp silent session optional pam_lastlog.so silent noupdate showfailed ---------- Cheers, -- Leonid Isaev
