Can't audit logout events from ssh or su in OpenSuSE 11.0

I am trying to setup auditing for NISPOM requirements using the built-in linux audit kernel which uses auditd and audit.rules for setup. I have been able to meet all other requirements, but I cannot find a way to audit user logout actions. My audit.rules file is listed below. Please help if you have any ideas. Thank you.

I found that I can access all login and logout times using the “last” command which views /var/log/wtmp messages. I can also save these and bring them up later if necessary for auditing purposes.

My own patch to /etc/rsyslog.conf for openSUSE 11.2:

SSH acceses will be logged in /var/log/auth.log

Do you know of any log locations that log su login and logout events? NISPOM requires logging of

"Successful and unsuccessful logons and logoffs.

This is covered by patches to login, gdm, and openssh"

I’m not sure what the covered by patches part means exactly because I cannot find logoffs anywhere.

This quote is taken straight from the nispom.rules audit file which would be saved as audit.rules in /etc/audit/
