in addition to last,  the commands 'w' and 'who' show you who is
currently on your system.

but the bottom line is that people cannot be logging into a freshly
installed system unless you installed a service that allows logins,
such as telnet, ssh, ftp, etc... Ubuntu has a closed by default port
policy.
