lastlog on Leopard



Hi,

I note that on 10.5 "Leopard" client OS machines, the /var/log/wtmp file is
no longer created and so I have no idea where the 'last' command gets its
data.

The 'last' command on my own Mac shows only the last 2-3 days of login
records, and doesn't go back farther.  Queries using Console's log query
system only show the same records, albeit in a cryptic format.

I would normally use 'last -f' to read one of the rolled wtmp log files from
earlier, but these files are no longer created...

Is there historical login/logout lists kept with the new logging system? 
Where are they or how can we access them?

Thanks,
Chris
