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.
