When I logged into my firewall and tried to run lastb, I found that lastb was not available. I am using baselayout-1.8.6.8-r1. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to run lastb using baselayout-1.8.6.8-r1. Actual Results: My shell BASH output "-bash: lastb: command not found" Expected Results: If lastb were available and the file /var/log/btmp existed, it should of displayed a list of bad login attempts. To correct this make /bin/lastb a symbolic link to /bin/last. In order to enable bad login attempts, the file /var/log/btmp must exist. Otherwise, lastb will output "/var/log/btmp: No such file or directory. Perhaps this file was removed by the operator to prevent logging lastb info." To enable bad login attempts baselayout should create /var/log/btmp. Also, I think /var/log/wtmp and /var/log/btmp should be rotated once a month or so. What do you think?
upgrade to sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.6.10
Yep, in since 1.8.6.9. Add a cron job for the logs, or open a new bug for whoever doing the crons.
