If you really need a fast response, I guess you should look for paid 
support, especially for the problem you're having (I'm italian too as 
you may have guessed).
That said, have look a vfs_audit. I have played with it myself. It logs 
a lot of information, but IIRC you can tune which events get logged.

HTH

PS: the problem with admin logs is that you have to guarantee they can't 
be altered, so logging logins/logouts in a text file is definitely 
insufficient for law compliance.
