No problem.

Both.

Yes.  Everything is normal.  The following appears at the bottom of that
file, in the "OBSOLETED BY PAM" section (among about a dozen or so
commented-out tags):

  #LASTLOG_ENAB

Incidentally, the following line appears both in /etc/pam.d/login and
/etc/pam.d/ssh:

  session    optional     pam_lastlog.so silent

No other file in /etc/pam.d has any mention of pam_lastlog.so in it.

I'm not sure.  It's the standard /bin/login that comes with woody.  How
can I tell?
