NAME

     pam_lastlog -- login accounting PAM module

SYNOPSIS

     [service-name] module-type control-flag pam_lastlog [options]

DESCRIPTION

     The login accounting service module for PAM provides functionality for only one PAM category: session management.	In terms of the
     module-type parameter, this is the ``session'' feature.

   Login Accounting Session Management Module
     The login accounting session management component provides functions to initiate (pam_sm_open_session()) and terminate
     (pam_sm_close_session()) sessions.  The pam_sm_open_session() function records the session in the utmp(5), utmpx(5), wtmp(5), wtmpx(5),
     lastlog(5), and lastlogx(5) databases.  The pam_sm_close_session() function does nothing.

     The following options may be passed to the authentication module:

     debug	syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.

     no_nested	Don't update records or print messages if the user is ``nested'', i.e. logged in on the same tty on top of another user.

     no_warn	suppress warning messages to the user.

     no_fail	Ignore I/O failures.

NAME

       pam_lastlog - PAM module to display date of last login

SYNOPSIS

       pam_lastlog.so [debug] [silent] [never] [nodate] [nohost] [noterm] [nowtmp] [noupdate] [showfailed]

DESCRIPTION

       pam_lastlog is a PAM module to display a line of information about the last login of the user. In addition, the module maintains the
       /var/log/lastlog file.

       Some applications may perform this function themselves. In such cases, this module is not necessary.

OPTIONS

       debug
	   Print debug information.

       silent
	   Don't inform the user about any previous login, just update the /var/log/lastlog file.

       never
	   If the /var/log/lastlog file does not contain any old entries for the user, indicate that the user has never previously logged in with
	   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.

       Only the session module type is provided.

EXAMPLES

       Add the following line to /etc/pam.d/login to display the last login time of an user:
