>Description:
The lastlogin program appears to use /var/log/lastlogx by default,
but the manual page still only lists /var/log/lastlog as the last
login database.
>How-To-Repeat:
man lastlogin
>Fix:
In addition to correcting the default database path, it might be
useful to show an example of looking at the old (and likely more
complete) lastlog database as well, e.g.
lastlogin -f /var/log/lastlog -t
At least I was wondering why suddenly nobody had logged in ever.
