Look at the saved copies of wtmp under /var/log.  Hmmm... By default
newsyslog(1) is setup to keep 4 old copies of the wtmp file around,
and to switch to a new file at the start of every month, so you should
have:

wtmp   September (ie. this month)
wtmp.0 August
wtmp.1 July
wtmp.2 June
wtmp.3 May

still on your system.  (Any earlier than May and you'ld have had to
retrieve the appropriate wtmp file from backup)

So, try:

last -f /var/log/wtmp.2 user

Cheers,

Matthew
