PsotLogin and PostSession scripts for Solaris

Hi Guys

I am currently tring to setup a system to monitor (also for billing purpose) all the instruments in our facility (university reserch instrumentation facility). The OS's running on these computers include Windows, Redhat and Solaris (Solaris 9 in csh). I have managed to get login/off scripts done for Windows and Linux machines. But I failed to setup similar script for solaris. I am a winodws guy and not good at unix system especially Solaris. There is a "last" command in Solaris that can get login/off information but it does not fit our needs since we want to know instantly/remotely/automatically who is login/off of that machine and when.

Can anyone give me some advice how to do it? Thanks.
　
Here is what I did for Linux machines, which works well. I inserted following scripts to record the login/off information,

For login, insert /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Defaults with
l=login
filename = "/...../log.txt"
echo "$HOSTNAME $USERNAME $l $dat" > filename

For logout, insert /etc/gdm/PostSessionDefault with
l=logout
filename = "/...../log.txt"
echo "$HOSTNAME $USERNAME $l $dat" > filename

Solaris login scripts

I've got Solaris 9. I've read that I can do a login script for each individual user with the .postlogin file, but is there not a way to set up something like that from a group-membership level? If there is, how can one trace down what group membership login scripts are being run?
