Patch for "last" providing incorrect information on Solaris 8

[Loomis, Rip]

If we enhance record_logout to include the username as
a passed parameter, it will also help me greatly in
getting the Solaris auditing (BSM) support working.
(In fact, I was just about to propose it to the list--
it's a non-trivial divergence between the OpenBSD
version and Portable, but it's really necessary for
BSM.)

I would therefore strongly recommend that these patches
get rolled into OpenSSH ASAP--since I need to "diddle
with configure" already for the BSM parts, I'm going to
incorporate these patches into my temporarily-divergent
codebase and work on a combined patch.
