Title Types of login access
Ref. No. QNX.000009652
Category(ies) Network, Installation, Configuration
Issue We were wondering if QNX has the following types of login access:

1) QNX to log date/time and user ID on invalid logon attempts.
2) QNX to expire passwords and force user to change after a configurable time period.
3) QNX to lock account after a configurable period of inactivity (User has not logged on).
4) QNX to log off user account after a configurable amount of mouse or keyboard inactivity.
5) QNX to save history of last used passwords and not allow user to change password to a password used in last x (configurable) passwords.
6) QNX to contain password expiration date.
7) QNX to log successful user logon.



Solution The login utility updates system accounting information, which is logged to the /etc/acclog file.  For this logging to occur, the file must already exist.  To enable logging, create an empty /etc/acclog file:
  touch /etc/acclog
  chmod g=,o= /etc/acclog
Be advised, this file may grow to consume considerable disk space, so the file should be printed or archived on a regular basis.  Please see Chapter 7 in the "Installation & Configuration" manual.
