Check Text ( C-35888r2_chk )
Check that pam_lastlog is used and not silent, or that the SSH daemon is configured to display last login information. # grep pam_lastlog /etc/pam.d/sshd If pam_lastlog is present, and does not have the "silent" option, this is not a finding. # grep -i PrintLastLog /etc/ssh/sshd_config If PrintLastLog is not present in the configuration, this is not a finding. This is the default setting. If PrintLastLog is present in the configuration and set to "yes" (case insensitive), this is not a finding. Otherwise, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-31144r1_fix)
Implement pam_lastlog, or enable PrintLastLog in the SSH daemon. To enable pam_lastlog, add a line such as "session required pam_lastlog.so" to /etc/pam.d/sshd. To enable PrintLastLog in the SSH daemon, remove any lines disabling this option from /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
