Hi list,
my server just had a little crash. Currently running:
OpenBSD 4.9 GENERIC#477 amd64
After reset I checked "last" and I found only 5 entries.
I am wondering I this is normal? Shouldn't there be more entries?
The last one is from Wed Nov 30 09:43 - 09:43 (00:00).
Could someone plz tell me when a entry gets deleted from "last"?

see newsyslog.conf, also.
in short: unlike some other systems that default to showing you every
person who ever logged in, OpenBSD rotates those log files. Of course,
you can adjust the rotation schedule.
What you see is (potentially?) entirely normal.
