Last login

[arot]

I just have entered to Control panel and in "Last Login From:" it appears:

Localhost

What that means?

Thanks.

That means that someone sat down at the server and logged in to your CP. Do you have any open support tickets? Someone may have been accessing your account to fix a problem you are having.

I thought so, but I have not opened a support ticket and the server (Neutron) is running O.K. without any known problems.

If you have more info on this, I will be glad to hear you. Do you think I should open a ticket for this? Can this mean any "intrusion" on the system?

Thanks for your reply.

I doubt its an intrusion, it was probably just something maintenance related. Another thing that could have caused it is if you ran lynx to access your CPanel during an SSH session, but that's not probably something you did.

If you're worried, you could open a ticket to ask about it, but as long as nothing appears to be wrong with your setup, then you are probably fine. Just to be safe, though, you may want to change your password.

Don't panic just yet. My CPanel always says 'localhost' for last login, unless that one time a tech had business there. I guess it has to do with the way you log on: it gets routed through localhost.

Apparently (based on Jason's answer and that tech's IP I saw once) there is a URL you can use that gets your actual IP there, but that's not the https://<your site's IP>:2083 I always use

Yes, I just tried loggin in with SSL and, sure enough, my "last login" (after logging in and out and then in again) was also from localhost.

I'm glad we (well, Gwaihir, actually) figured this out.
