Check Text ( C-38061r618888_chk )
Verify the SUSE operating system 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/login

session required pam_lastlog.so showfailed

If "pam_lastlog" is missing from "/etc/pam.d/login" file, the "silent" option is present, or the returned line is commented out, this is a finding.
