Thanks for the bug report. The problem here is actually that Redhat
installs a program named "lastlog" in /usr/bin which is in your path
before the version in the consult locker, and which has a different
purpose. You can work around the problem for now by giving the full
path to lastlog, i.e.:
/mit/consult/bin/lastlog username
or else use "add -f consult ; lastlog username", which will put the
consult locker first in your path.
