Although there are workarounds for the commands `last` (by using
`wtmpdb`) and `lastlog` (by using `lastlog2`), there is no solution for
finding *bad logins* (like using the old `lastb` command).

See: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1533129/what-happened-to-lastb-
command-in-ubuntu-24-10

Also a question: Currently it seems that the files `/var/log/wtmp` and
`/var/log/btmp` *are* updated; what are the future plans for these
files? Note that `wtmpdb` uses the new `/var/lib/wtmpdb/wtmpdb.db`
database and `lastlog2` uses the new `/var/lib/lastlog/lastlog2.db`
database.
