Why some entries of last -a do not show the hostname ?
Issue
-
The command
last -a
does not show a hostname on all lines as it should:-a Display the hostname in the last column. Useful in combination with the next flag.
-
The result is something like:
root pts/3 Fri Feb 28 04:15 still logged in root pts/2 Fri Feb 28 04:09 still logged in root pts/1 Fri Feb 21 04:44 still logged in user1.serv root pts/0 Fri Feb 21 04:44 still logged in user2.serv
