PAM_LASTLOG(8)              System Manager's Manual             PAM_LASTLOG(8)

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.
