>Description:
/usr/binlast does not accept input from stdin nor does it process
.gz files.

So, why is this a problem? After all, there is the -f option, right?

This is not sufficient, as FreeBSD gzips the current wtmp once a
month to /var/log/wtmp.Month.gz and the -f option does not work with
.gz files.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
1. Make /usr/bin/last accept wtmp format on stdin.
2. Enable /usr/bin/last to process .gz files.
