If you want to know, who is logged in and when someone logged in, check |
| 30 |
the man page for utmp / wtmp. These files are not human readable indeed, |
| 31 |
but you can use the 'who' or 'w' command to see who is currently logged |
| 32 |
in, and the last command to see when someone logged in. The 2nd column |
| 33 |
shows where the login came from (and the 3rd from where), it displays |
| 34 |
'ssh' when someone logged in via ssh. ':0' means someone started a login |
| 35 |
on the first X display. Probably using KDE4, but it may be any |
| 36 |
other window manager. So I have no answer to your question about KDE |
| 37 |
logins. And I don't knwo if the feature you are looking for exists at all. |
| 38 |

Maybe you can hack /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsession, to add an entry in |
| 40 |
some log file in case KDE is being started. |
