Description
By default applications like openssh and dropbear are configured with the following flags:
--disable-lastlog --disable-utmp --disable-wtmp
At the present time there is no way to enable lastlog, utmp and wtmp usage even if dropbear is configured with utmp and wtmp support.

I just searched lastlog in openwrt. It would be nice to see the facts about the last login when logging in via ssh.
Would be nice if you implement this in future releases.

If you enable utmp/wtmp/last/who in busybox and compile dropbear/openssh with the right options, it works fine.
I really don't understand why it's disabled, it adds nothing to the firmware size except value.

Most of the openwrt systems are having small diskspace by default. and thus enabling it by default is risky. My thought though, correct me if I am wrong.

Correct. If we even want to support this, it should be optional. People are free to submit patches to implement that, but we won't do it ourselves

I mean "even if busybox is configured with utmp and wtmp support"
