Subject: lastlog2 as Y2038 safe lastlog replacement
Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2023 13:52:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230321135259.GA32352@suse.com> (raw)
Hi,
as already written, there are several Y2038 problems with glibc even on
some 64bit architectures
(https://www.thkukuk.de/blog/Y2038_glibc_utmp_64bit/).
I wrote now "lastlog2" as Y2038 safe lastlog replacement.
All the informations can be found in my blog: https://www.thkukuk.de/blog/Y2038_glibc_lastlog_64bit/
and the code on github: https://github.com/thkukuk/lastlog2
In short: lastlog2 consist of a library, which provides a generic API
for this, a PAM module, so that no application needs to be touched, and
a lastlog2 application similar to 'lastlog' to display and maintain the
data.
sqlite3 is used as backend, a robust, well maintained database.
Thorsten
