loginhook

[floris]

situation:
Mac client authenticating using LDAP. Clients have a local Homedirectory.

I want:
I want to log user statistics, when and where users log in.
I created a loginhook:

# user is not admin -> continue
set localadmin = admin
if ( $1 != $localadmin ) then
# ------------------------------------------
# Logging information
# ------------------------------------------
if ( ! -d /private/var/tmp/stats ) then
mkdir /private/var/tmp/stats
endif
mount -t afp afp://userass@server/volume /private/var/tmp/stats
set LOGINNAME = `who | awk '{ print $1 }'`
set MAC = `/sbin/ifconfig en0 | /usr/bin/awk '/ether/ { gsub(":", ""); print $2 }'`
# ------------------------------------------
set RIGHTNOW = `date`
echo "login: $LOGINNAME $RIGHTNOW $MAC" >> /private/var/tmp/stats/stats/login.txt
umount -f /private/var/tmp/stats
endif

### Always exit with 0 status
exit 0



logging is OK but the part which is checking who logged in does not work; the only thing found is the user who executed the script, which is root.
So I need to know how to find the UID of the person who logged in.

can you help?

Can you echo "whoami"?... or will that also show "root"?

It shows root as well. Maybe it can be done using the command "last" which indicates last logins of users. I going to try this one in a loginhook.
