(c'est "connection" en anglais ;))

Unfortunately, no, there's no such thing as a logon/logoff sequence. You can 
scan for entries telling that someone has initiated a connection to the 
[profiles] as user <some user here>, that would be the most accurate you can 
guess. But you cannot tell when the person logs off AFAIK.
