Check out Richard Mueller's fifth logon script he has posted on his
website, this might be what you are looking for:
It should be pointed out (as said on the page) that login scripts run under
user permissions. So it is possible for the user to write to the file
manually. consider the following scenario:
user login, line written to the logfile
user writes a logout line to the logfile manually
user is doing some nasty things...
user writes a login line to the logfile manually
user logs out, line written to the logfile
So from the entries in the logfile the user was logged in before and after
the nasty things happened, but not during the timeperiod.
And if users just plug the power cable there will be no logout.
And if users plug out the network cable while loggin in they might get
logged in (cached credentials) but no line will be written...
And if you give domain users write permission in the directory it will be
filled up with crap in shortest time (at least our user did :-).
All together it is not a reliable logfile...
ciao, ralf
