+login of the user. In addition, the module maintains the /var/log/lastlog file.

- login was attempt.
+debug

- attempted.
+ Print debug information.
- * silent - neglect to inform the user about any previous login:
- just update the /var/log/lastlog file.
+silent
- * never - if the /var/log/lastlog file does not contain any old
- entries for the user, indicate that the user has never
- previously logged in with a ``welcome..." message.
