       File  contains a record of all users logged onto the system.  File con‐
       tains bad login entries for each invalid logon attempt.	File  contains
       a record of all logins and logouts.

       Note  that  and tend to grow without bound, and should be checked regu‐
       larly.  Information that is no longer useful should be removed periodi‐
       cally  to  prevent  it from becoming too large.	Also note that and are
       not created by the programs that maintain them.	Thus, if  these	 files
       are removed, record-keeping is turned off.
