1. auto terminal time out : I know telnet windows have a timeout and close after some idle time.
Donno about what terminal you talk about exactly.
2. system logs on Solaris 2.6 are under /var for example :
/var/adm/messages - system messages log.
/var/log/syslog - the syslogd main logfile - usually inclode sendmail's log too.
logging of the logon/logoff is available with the 'last' commmand.
There are many other logs on the system :
e.g. /var/cron/logs - logs of the crontab.
user's command history can be kept in some shells automaticaly in .history.
4. Yes password's termination is a built in feature read man passwd , enter it via admintool or useradd or manually in /etc/shadow. (only if you know what you're doing).
Hope that helps,

penlogd
PENLOGD(1) General Commands Manual PENLOGD(1)
NAME
penlogd - consolidate web server logs
SYNOPSIS
penlogd [-fd] [-j dir] [-l logfile] [-n N] [-p pidfile] [-u user] port
EXAMPLE
penlogd -l /var/log/access_log -p /var/run/penlogd.pid 10000
DESCRIPTION
Penlogd receives log entries from Pen and from each of the web servers. It consolidates the entries by replacing the source addresses in
each entry with the "real" client address and writes the result to stdout or to the file given on the command line. This completely
removes the need for postprocessing with mergelogs, since the logs are already merged.
Pen must be instructed to send its log to penlogd. See HOWTO and pen man page for details.
Sending penlogd a HUP signal will make it close and reopen the logfile, unless it is logging to stdout. Rotate the log like this:
mv access_log access_log.1 kill -HUP `cat <pidfile>`
where <pidfile> is the file containing pen's process id.
Sending penlogd a TERM signal will make it close the log file and exit cleanly.
OPTIONS
-d Turn on debugging. The output goes to stderr if we are running in the foreground (see -f) and to syslog (facility user, priority
debug) otherwise.
-f Stay in foreground.
-j dir Run in a chroot environment.
-l logfile
Write output into logfile.
-n N Number of pen log entries to cache (default 1000).
-p pidfile
Write process id into pidfile.
-u user
Run as a different user.
port The UDP port where penlogd receives log entries.
