RTFM

man last


NOTES
The files wtmp and btmp might not be found. 
The system only logs infor-mation  in  these 
files if they are present. This is a local 
configura-tion issue. If you want the files to be
used, they can be created  with a simple touch(1)
command (for example, touch /var/log/wtmp).


Cheers from NXP
