Answer from AI
In Linux, to get a list of recently logged-in users, you can use the last command. It reads the /var/log/wtmp file and displays the login history.
Example usage:
last
The command will show a list of users, login times, session durations, and IP addresses (if the login was remote).
To view only the last few entries, you can use:
last -n 10
If you want to see not only successful logins but also login attempts, you can use lastb (requires root privileges), which reads /var/log/btmp.
