You can also use the "-s" option to ls, which can be more convenient.
And lastlog does seem pretty sparse:
% ls -ls lastlog messages
6 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 292292 Feb 13 16:55 lastlog
201 -rw-r----- 1 root adm 204740 Feb 13 17:33 messages
That's 6K versus 201K, when the first file should be half as big again.
