 I thought this used to include the username . I poked around in
 the code for Shadow to see if I could decipher the origon of this
 string but got lost in a jungle of includes,stuctures,etc.
 
 I'm guessing that -0500 is my offset from GMT . On another partition 
 with LFS  built in July the string is the same. A ssh login to a
 remote machine with Debian installed  yields :
 
 Last login: Thu Nov 25 16:24:34 2010 from eagle.cowpie.net
 
 This is all really not a big deal; It's odd that I just noticed it.
 
 Is this a variable that can be configured ?

Well.. yes. Find it's location in the source and fix it. :)

BTW, if I recall correctly, the line is printed by Bash, so you should
look there.

 At this stage of my C expertise I would do better trying to decipher
Eygptian heiroglyphics than much of the code I see. 

 I will check out the bash connection.

Thanks,
