Every one of my systems list last log at 505GB with a vanilla ³ls² and all

All of my systems are 64 bit CentOS, and all have /var/log/lastlog. With
various pressure from both the private sector and government demanding
some kind of log archiving, I thought some kind of FAQ or note could save
countless man hours for people trying to use BackupPC. I wasted 2 days
going dow
Can someone please put the situation in Linux with not filtering
/var/log/lastlog (sparse file) somewhere in the docs. It comes back to
bite me every few years and I waste a bunch of time figuring out why rsync
keeps aborting. Or for that matter just hard code ignoring that file.
