Hey,

You could do a 'last <username>' to see the times they've logged in & out.
Do your users home directories contain a '.profile' file?
This file can be used to run scripts at login & logout on a per user basis, so you could create a script to dump information to a text file each time they login and then logout & also dump any commands that they run on your system.

I have also seen a script that will run until a certain user logs out, this can notify you by mail, wall etc.
