How to pass successfully login count from pam module.

Asked by Asghar

Hi,

currently i am using Ubuntu 18.04, where i have configured pam to pass the failure login attempts for the user but it does pass success login count from past success login.

cat /etc/pam.d/common-session

session required pam_lastlog.so showfailed

This showfailed was working as expected, i just want the same message type where system should show successfull login attempts from past login,

i am expecting this below type of output from pam, could you please suggest the right config to get the successful login attempts from pam.

I Last success login: Wed Jun 15 11:17:51 UTC 2022 from ::1 on ssh:notty
There were 2 Successful login attempts since the last successful login.
Last login: Wed Jun 15 11:17:55 2022 from ::1

Thanks
Asghar.A

This does not make any sense.

There cannot be a single successful login attempt since the last successful login, because that would count as successful login and reset the counter!

What do you want to see?

i need to know when my user account was logged in and how many times successful attempts happens.

Can you help with this problem?
