Although wtmp and btmp have a current date/time stamp, the 'last' command's most recent activity is from one week ago! I can't see any recent login/out activity.
Any help very appreciated: Points Assigned
Thanks,
Brad

It's not impossible -- it'll just cost more...

I suspect that you have corrupt wtmp and/or btmp files. Use fwtmp to convert them to readable text. You can also use fwtmp to convert your cleaned up ASCII files back to binary format. Man fwtmp for details.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
