What a collection of mistakes:
- The pertinent file is /var/adm/wtmp (and /var/adm/btmp for the bad login attempts log displayed via the "lastb" command).
There is a file called "lastlog" ("/var/log/lastlog"), but it's not used for quite the same thing--it holds a record of when each defined user last logged in and is displayed in human-readable form by the "lastlog" command.

/etc/logrotate.d/syslog /etc/logrotate.conf
