Check Text (C-65068r996478_chk)
Verify all remote connections via SSH to SLEM 5 display feedback on when account accesses last occurred with the following command:

> sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -dd 2>&1 | awk '/filename/ {print $4}' | tr -d '\r' | tr '\n' ' ' | xargs sudo grep -iH '^\s*printlastlog'
/etc/ssh/sshd_config:PrintLastLog yes

If the "PrintLastLog" is not set to "yes", is commented out, missing, or conflicting results are returned, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-64976r996479_fix)
Configure SLEM 5 to provide users with feedback on when account accesses last occurred.

Add or modify the following lines in the "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" file:

PrintLastLog yes

Restart the SSH daemon in order for the changes to take effect:
