Check Text ( C-23584r419679_chk )
Verify users are provided with feedback on when account accesses last occurred.

Check that "pam_lastlog" is used and not silent with the following command:

# grep pam_lastlog /etc/pam.d/postlogin
session required pam_lastlog.so showfailed

If "pam_lastlog" is missing from "/etc/pam.d/postlogin" file, or the silent option is present, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-23573r419680_fix)
Configure the operating system to provide users with feedback on when account accesses last occurred by setting the required configuration options in "/etc/pam.d/postlogin".

Add the following line to the top of "/etc/pam.d/postlogin":

session required pam_lastlog.so showfailed
