That one is still TBD. I needed the define in libaudit.h so I could use it 
later. I have to patch a few user space utilities to send the event.

Logoffs have to be determined from session information. So, it takes some 
extra logic to deduce. Also failed logins are pretty important as you may be 
under attack, while logoffs you are never under attack. So, I don't know if 
logoffs are worthy of an IDS alert. However, it would be fine for something 
like an aulast command. Would that be helpful or do you see an IDS angle I'm 
missing? Its a good question, though.
