+pam_lastlogin: The last login module
+
+This module can be used as session entry to provide a `Last login on ...'
+message. When the user logs into the system from what ever application
+uses the PAM libraries. In addition, the module maintains the
+/var/log/lastlog file and the wtmp entry.
+
+
+The behavior of this module can be modified with one of the following
+flags:
+
+ * debug - write more information to syslog(3).
+
+ * nodate - neglect to give the date of the last login when displaying
+ information about the last login on the system.
+
+ * noterm - neglect to diplay the terminal name on which the last
+ login was attempt.
+
+ * nohost - neglect to indicate from which host the last login was
+ attempted.
+
+ * silent - neglect to inform the user about any previous login:
+ just update the /var/log/lastlog file.
+
+ * 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.
+
+ * nowtmp - Don't update the wtmp entry.
