LASTLOG_ENAB (boolean)
If yes, and if the /var/log/lastlog file exists, then a successful user
login will be recorded to this file. Furthermore, if this option is enabled
then the times of the most recent successful and unsuccessful logins will be
displayed to the user upon login. The unsuccessful login display will be
suppressed if FAILLOG_ENAB is not enabled. If ``hushlogin'' conditions are
in effect, then both the successful and unsuccessful login information will
be suppressed.
Ar.... I forgot to tell u one thing. I'm now trying to let the users to login via SSH. I found that only root has the Last login message but not the other users.
However, when I use the normal telnet, the message is there whoever logs in.
It seems that the login.defs isn't the one to control the appearance of that message in my system. Is it the special feature RH9? Then where can I control the login behaviour?
