Logging in/out is done in 2 places. First, pam records what it knows. But the 
entry point daemon is also supposed to send USER_LOGIN and USER_LOGOUT 
events.

Complete information is here:
https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-documentation/wiki/SPEC-User-Login-Lifecycle-Events

Gdm, Kdm, and sshd all have been updated to record these events. All that is 
needed is to configure --with-audit during the package build. By now, I would 
expect all distros to do that.
