Bindery last-login info
eng...@csc.canterbury.ac.nz
With SYSCON, under the "User Information" option, you can select
the "additional information" option. Amongst other things it
gives you the last login time/date of the selected user. This is
well and good.
What I want to know is how do you get this very information
(last login date) using the Bindery Services - i.e.
the INT 21H calls with the E3 function codes, esp. 3D (Read
Property Value). I am very familiar with these calls and have got
a lot of information from the bindery, but this last-login-time
eludes me. One would expect the relevant property (say
"LAST_LOGIN", or similar) to appear on the nice table on page
3-13 of the Bindery Services manual (Netware System Interface
Technical Overview) but there is nothing there remotely like it.
I have tried several combinations of potential strings in the
vain attempt of succeeding, but with no luck.
Help! (We are running V3.10)

it is stored in the LOGIN_CONTROL property
format :
offset 00-02 : account expiration date (format YYMMDD), 000000 if none
03 : ff= account disabled
04-06 : password expiration date YYMMDD, 000000 if none
07 : grace logins remaining, ff=no limit
08 : ????
09 : days between forced password change
0a : grace logins allowed, ff=no limit
0b : minimum password length
0c : ??
0d : maximum # concurrent connections (ff=no maximum)
0e - 37 : timerestrictions (bitmap)
38 - 3d : last login (YYMMDDHHMMSS)
3e : bit0 : user not allowed to change password
3f - 49 ??
4a - 55 : last intruder address (4:6:2 bytes)
the rest I haven't figured out yet, if any body else got more
info on other properties please let me know
