I always assumed this was to protect users when they accidentally type
their password as username! We've all done that... right?

I wouldn't be surprised if it were configurable but I can't see how, at
least not from pam_unix(8).

Title:
  last and lastb missing in 24.10

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The last and lastb commands have disappeared from util-linux at 24.10!

  This is odd, as the binaries from 24.04 actually run on 24.10, so the
  data is clearly still being collected and in the same format.

  Ubuntu: 24.10 (Oracular Oriole).

  Package: util-linux
  Version: 2.40.2-1ubuntu1
