Thanks for the replies!  There were two suggestions I received:

(1): touch file /etc/wtmp and use the last command.  This works, however
the last login field still does not appear on fingering and, more importantly,
it doesn't register logins made on our two Xwindow terminals via xdm.

(2): touch file /usr/adm/lastlog , chmod 644 of the same file.  This enables
the last login field of the finger command and appears to register the
xdm logins as well.
