Also check that /var/log/wtmp is set up correctly

[smooge@smoogen-laptop ~]$ ls -lZ /var/log/wtmp
-rw-rw-r--. root utmp system_u:object_r:wtmp_t:s0      /var/log/wtmp
[smooge@smoogen-laptop ~]$ ls -l /var/log/wtmp
-rw-rw-r--. 1 root utmp 116352 2018-01-30 13:55 /var/log/wtmp

Sometimes wtmp gets rotated at the beginning of the year so there is
usually another file like
/var/log/wtmp-20180117 or something.
