I want multiple computers to share /var/log/wtmp and log the user login records, so that when i see single wtmp on the server I can get account of all computers and servers itself. Note: should I share users too? by sharing all files related to /etc/passwd ..... how to do that .... what are those files i just know passwd and shadow?
Or is there any other way so that I can view log of the login records of all computers on lan, remotely?
The normal way to do this is to setup a centralised AA server, usually LDAP or NIS/NIS+
ssh user@remote "sudo last" is yet another way of doing things.
