--- Comment #8 from Dag-Erling Smørgrav <des at FreeBSD.org> ---
Miroslav: the problem is (or was, at the time) that the configure script looks
for the actual log files rather than the APIs.  If you try to build OpenSSH on
a machine that was upgraded from an older FreeBSD version and still has old log
files lying around, the configure script will enable lastlog and the build will
fail.  Conversely, it may incorrectly disable lastlog on a system that supports
it if you try to configure and build in a pristine chroot or jail (like
poudriere does), because the log files aren't created until someone logs in.

Steven: the bug is not that PrintLastLog doesn't work. It *can't* work, because
FreeBSD doesn't have that API any more. The bug is that it is still documented.
