lastlog showing **Never logged in** for every user, including my own

So yeah, is this a bug in lastlog, did I break something or did someone take over my arch box?
Any further info I should provide?

edit: these are remote logins.

Maybe it can't read the file. Do you have a /var/log/lastlog file? It should be owned by root and have read and write permissions.

Interesting, same result on my server. Lastlog used to work fine because I pruned a bunch of dormant accounts from my server just a few months ago. Permissions on the file are fine.

My version of the shadow package is shadow 4.1.3.1-1, what about you zaggy?

Here it only displays the last login time for users that have logged in from vc/{1~6} I believe. And it is working, it shows my last login times as well as the other users login time.
shadow package version: 4.1.3.1-1

hum ... I think there may be a bug somewhere. I have the exact same situation and it used to work fine.
