This used to be a normal announcement on vtty login. On Trixie it's missing. What's responsible for it? Is it different on Trixie? On Tumbleweed it's a separate package lastlog or something like that. Search for similar for Trixie comes up empty. :( -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, lik

XOFF (C-s) on ptys works by default
