The "last" command records the log-on- and log-off-times of any connection to the AIX-server, regardless of the OS this has originated from. You will see IP-addresses (or their DNS-equivalents) and other information pertaining to the
connection, but no direct information about the client the connection has been made from.
Regardless of where you come from, all the clients you mentioned use the same mechanism: they start a SSH-client (in Linux derivates this is the command line utility "ssh", in Windows this would be "putty" or maybe some other tool with the same functionality) and connect to the SSH-server(-process) on the AIX-system. This in turn will validate (like asking for passwords, ...) and finally establish the session - which will be logged in a file "/var/adm/wtmp", which "last" reads.
I hope this helps.
