[Bug 2077712] [NEW] lastlog does not capture all logins

[cosine]

Public bug reported:

My system does not capture all logins in lastlog.
In particular ssh logins are not captured.
Some users stay stuck at "**Never logged in**"


It is very similar to bug #271049 , but that one is over 10 yrs old.

Might be related to /etc/pam.d  and pam_lastlog.so, but I don't know
enough about that.
