No 'Last Login:' info from bash?

 Something strange happened on a few of our Redhat 6.0 (kernel
2.2.12-20) boxes this morning. When I went to login to the machines via
a telnet session I didn't get any 'Last Login' reported by the shell.
It's been a few days since I last accessed the machines, and scanning
the system logs doesn't show any logins by anyone at all since my
previous session (this is normal for these machines). I've done a
cursory check for new or modified files (using GNU find) and nothing
looks out of the ordinary. The machines haven't been restarted and all
the log files seem to be intact...

 Is this something to be concerned about?
