I think someone has been on my computer when I was at school today. Is there a way to get like the last time the computer was on or the last time my account logged in? I don't password protect my login but I am gonna start to.
Got a tip for us?

Menu.
go to applications -> utilities -> Console
it logs a lot of things that would tell you wether the compu was being used.

That seems to me like the best way to go. Looks like I was just paranoid and no one was on my computer.
. Better to be safe, though!
if your worried about other people using your system why not enable or configure the system to request a password after it's woken up from sleep? Anyone who tries to access the system will be prompted for the account password.
goto System Preferences → Accounts → Login Options
change Automatic login → Disabled
also goto System Preferences → Security
check both boxes for Disable Automatic login and Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screensaver
hi...
a couple of days this week, i have come home and the caps lock has been on, and i never use it...
i followed the advise here and went to console and checked - but the times are all funny...
it is telling me that tonight about midnight, someone was on the comp....
how can i fix this? or is there another way to tell....
thanks
ok, let me correct that - i found what i was looking for !!!! couldnt believe my eyes!
is there anyway possible that it could have activated itself by any chance??
how can i check for that software that records what you type in and stuff? or what can i do... wow, im shocked!
my ex still has my keys to my house.
i will change the password now..

If someone has the key to my house, the last thing I worry about is protecting my computer. Get all the locks in your house changed immediately.
