yes there is, and that was my first approach as well. Problem is, it is 
not empty when trying to check from a script integrated on the first 
page the user visits after the login.

At the moment it is a php script included by the extension 
page_php_content (not my choice) which should be extended.

Is it likely to perform a successful check before the lastlogin value 
gets updated from within a plugin or USER, USER_INT object?
