My 2 cents: Most probably your log file is not a true ascii file the format of a file can do such things which the cat command doesnt really care ( beware! ) I would not be surprised that using file command it returns you the content as "data" which does not necessarily mean ascii and so text (GUI ) editors cant read and I suppose tend to display just blanc, an example of such log files? the wtmp or utmp file
That said I worked late last night and its late now for me... so I might very well be writing a load of crap... Forgive me if its the case... and will be working very late tomorrow so Good night

a welcome message.
nodate
Don't display the date of the last login.
noterm
Don't display the terminal name on which the last login was attempted.
nohost
Don't indicate from which host the last login was attempted.
nowtmp
Don't update the wtmp entry.
noupdate
Don't update any file.
showfailed
Display number of failed login attempts and the date of the last failed attempt from btmp. The date is not displayed when nodate is
specified.
MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
Only the session module type is provided.
RETURN VALUES

Everything was successful.
PAM_SERVICE_ERR
Internal service module error.
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
