Hi there. I've noticed a /var/log/lastlog file sitting happily in my log dir. I initially thought that this is what i viewed when i used "last", however i've learnt that "last" uses /var/log/wtmp instead. What is lastlog good for? As far as I can see.. you need to use "lastlog" to view the lastlog file. Is this file really necessary? Or can I get rid of it and simply use my wtmp file?
