/var/log/messages sometimes goes by /ver/log/syslog, but really I think you're looking for /var/log/lastlog, which you can look through with the simple command: "last"
RH I know does a monthly rotate on the lastlog which Deb and Slack just let it run on forever. My guess is Mandy rotates it, but there has to be an easy tool to configure that. The rotated out version is probably somewhere in /var/log just compressed.
