Situation

How to get a history of user logins
How to track previous logins

Resolution

eDirectory only logs the last authentication time/date/location. There is the "Login Time" and "Last Login Time" attribute of user objects. Search for: Listing Last Login Times (Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer)
This will yield the past two login times. Any more than that and you will need Auditing tools configured in advance.

NSure Audit is included in NetWare 6.5 Goto https://www.novell.com/documentation/nw65/index.html and look
for Auditing Services. If you need more functionality than this, search the web for products like NVMonitor from NetVision. These products need to be enabled ahead of time.
