Answering my own question, not quite. Apparently, traditionally we have: * sshd writes to /var/log/lastlog by itself. * login has pam_lastlog.so in its PAM snippet. Both of these would need to be replaced by pam_lastlog2.so. I don't really know what the other distros are doing right now, and/or if we should align on this. So we could either put pam_lastlog2.so into a common-* file from src:pam, or openssh and shadow should switch their setup. What do we all think about that? Chris
