Check Text (C-258076r991589_chk)
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 "/etc/pam.d/postlogin" file, or the silent option is present, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-61741r926214_fix)
Configure RHEL 9 to provide users with feedback on when account accesses last occurred by setting the required configuration options in "/etc/pam.d/postlogin".
Add the following line to the top of "/etc/pam.d/postlogin":
session required pam_lastlog.so showfailed
