I don't know how I managed to come up empty, but on retry after reading thread
replies, two I should have found turned up - libpam-lastlog2 & liblastlog2-2. Now
in /etc/pam.d/common-session I have the session optional pam_lastlog.so that Greg
pointed to, but after systemctl daemon-reload, no change, and also no change after
reboot. systemctl list-unit-files | grep last returns null. There's no man page
for common-session. pam-auth-update common-session has (and had), "Maintain
lastlog2 database" enabled, yet still no last login after another reboot to
multi-user.target. / filesystem has Inode size 128. Could that be it? Nope. I was
able to change it to 256 with tune2fs, but still no last login after yet another
reboot. :(
