Hello
Are there any logs in NW5 sp6 where I can check who has logged in at a certain time and from which computer or ip ??

Thanks in advance

You will need to turn on AUDITCON in order to catch the logins. Unless someone logs in locally from the console in which case the conlog should provide the information. Make sure you are archiving these as well so when a reboot happens, the log is not overwritten.

I have heard that auditing can affect performance. Is that true?

if you are using zen then you can tell who has used a workstation from the workstation object

you cant tell when though - only if they have

auditcon or naas is the only way

i've used auditcon once and never again

Terry712, why never again ? problems ?

ran it on a netware 4.11 server

ticked all the options as you know when young , stupid and clueless

2 days later - when you go to login - you get a styrange message basically saying sod off

had a quick log at support connections and it was an auditing bug - luckily i hadnt rebooted server
what it said was whatever you do dont reboot server - find a pc thats logged in and do something with a log - if you had rebooted server then you needed to copy the login from a 4.11 cd and login against that

i dare say it will have improved since then but once bitten

Don't want to violate any posting rules, but tracking logins and logouts is just what our software does (

There is another product out there which is NLM-based and I believe is free which will produce basic logs for reporting. Can't remember the name of it off-hand, but a google search will find it.
