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

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