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 <code class="filename">/var/log/lastlog</code> file.
</p><p>
Some applications may perform this function themselves. In such
cases, this module is not necessary.
</p><p>
If the module is called in the auth or account phase, the accounts that
were not used recently enough will be disallowed to log in. The
check is not performed for the root account so the root is never
locked out.
