Verify users are provided with feedback on when account accesses last occurred with the following command:
$ sudo grep pam_lastlog /etc/pam.d/postlogin
session required pam_lastlog.so showfailed
If "pam_lastlog" is missing from the "/etc/pam.d/postlogin" file or the silent option is present, this is a finding.
