Hello, yesterday I found my MacBook Air turned on in Guest mode (the only session that doesn't have a password).
I would like to know if you have a solution to see the last hours of logins on this session to identify the culprit.

Thank you

Configuration: Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4) / Safari 6.0.5

Hello,

If your account is an admin type, then you can have fun checking the secure.log file using the Console utility found in "Applications -> Utilities".
Once this file is selected in the Console, use the search box at the top right to type the following text: "User info context values set for Guest".
You will know at what time the Guest account was opened.

Example: the Guest account was opened on August 16 at 9:03 AM

it's certainly too late but.... secure.log is located in /private/var/log
small triangle and there you go

Hello,

On Mac OS 10.8, this file is called system.log
In other words, to keep it simple, you need to do as Ritchi indicates, open the Console,

then go to
/var/log/system.log

and there search for the word guest...

Best regards

Have a good day, or Good Night..:).
