SYNOPSIS
pam_unix_session.so.1DESCRIPTION

pam_sm_open_session() updates the
/var/adm/lastlog file with the
information contained in the
PAM_USER,
PAM_TTY, and
PAM_RHOSTS items.
pam_unix_account(7) uses this account to determine the previous time
the user logged in.
pam_sm_close_session() is a null function.
The following options can be passed to the module:
debug syslog(3C) debugging information at the
LOG_DEBUG level
nowarn Turn off last login PAM_TEXT_INFO message.
