+pam_lastlog — PAM module to display date of last login
+
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+pam_lastlog is a PAM module to display a line of information about the last
+login of the user. In addition, the module maintains the /var/log/lastlog file.

+Some applications may perform this function themselves. In such cases, this
+module is not necessary.
