Seeing as I'm not in front of a FreeBSD box at the moment, this is
somewhat off the top of my head...
'lastlog' should have something worthwhile. A simple script called
nightly from CRON would be sufficient.
For example, when I run 'lastlog -u andrew' on my laptop, it tells me
the time and date I last logged into the system (funnily enough).
[andrew@percible log]$ lastlog -u andrew
Username Port From Latest
andrew :0 Fri Jul 27 13:12:20 +0930 2001
Now, all you have to do is:
i ) Make sure the time, date and timezone is correctly set
ii ) Write a bit of [Pp][ython|erl] split and analyze the output
from 'lastlog -u %s' (where %s is the username)
The script may also wish to check if %s is in whichever group all users
are a member of. This prevents toying with system accounts that display
'**Never logged in**' (you still want to be able to disable normal users
that have not logged in, you see).
