Logins are denoted by a USER_LOGIN event. There should also be a USER_STA=
RT=20
event from the same tty/pty or host, auid, and pid. This marks the beginn=
ing=20
of a session. You should be able to look for a corresponding USER_END to=20
denote the end of a session. If USER_START results indicates a failure, t=
here=20
will not be a USER_END.

With a little inference, its possible. I started to put in a USER_LOGOUT=20
event, but I decided its redundant when it can be inferred by the session=
=20
events.
