Indeed a nice work around. But I'm getting confused now that you tell me about lastlog.
Aren't you talking about utmp/wtmp? What's the difference between /var/log/wtmp, utmp and lastlog? My first thought was that lastlog just keeps a log of which user logged in from where the last time. Utmp and wtmp keep track of who is currently logged in, don't know why there are 2 files though...
