Because /var/log/lastlog can be a directory. In this case sshd creates
files under /var/log/lastlog directory with the name of the user and
each file only contains logininfo records for that user.
We're just missing a lastlog tool which allows examining the lastlog
file(s). It's part of the pwdutils package from
