i have never heard of logout being captured.

possabily check the syslog facitilty?

just a thought....
you could write a wrapper for the commands "login" & "exit" that call the logger facility and pass an entry to syslogd.

Login. Wait 10 minutes. Logout. Log back in. Now what does "last" look like? Unless "logged in" appears in the comment, that session is logged out. In such a case, added the elapsed time to the login time to get the logout time.
