Description Michael Catanzaro 2013-12-21 16:26:04 UTC 
After I enter my password and hit Enter, gdm displays a message indicating the
last time I logged into my computer, something like "Last login: Sat Dec 01 12:34:56 on :0" or maybe "Last login: Sat Dec 01 12:34:56 on tty2." I don't know what :0 is; nontechnical users have no chance of understanding it.

This is a Fedoraism in pam that i believe got fixed in time for the F20 release.

That's true, sorry.

FWIW: this was actually introduced in F20.
