NAME

     pam_lastlog -- login accounting PAM module


SYNOPSIS

     [service-name] module-type control-flag pam_lastlog [options]


DESCRIPTION

     The login accounting service module for PAM provides functionality for
     only one PAM category: session management.  In terms of the module-type
     parameter, this is the ``session'' feature.

   Login Accounting Session Management Module
     The login accounting session management component provides functions to
     initiate (pam_sm_open_session()) and terminate (pam_sm_close_session())
     sessions.  The pam_sm_open_session() function records the session in the
     utmp(5), utmpx(5), wtmp(5), wtmpx(5), lastlog(5), and lastlogx(5) data-
     bases.  The pam_sm_close_session() function does nothing.

     The following options may be passed to the authentication module:

     debug      syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.

     no_nested  Don't update records or print messages if the user is
                ``nested'', i.e. logged in on the same tty on top of another
                user.

     no_warn    suppress warning messages to the user.

     no_fail    Ignore I/O failures.
