I already have some code to do this by monitoring both the utmp/wtmp
file for console logins and by looking through running processes for GDM
sessions since (at least at the time and in this particular environment)
GDM wasn't writing out *tmp entries.  It was sort of hacked together
code and would certainly need some reworking before being put into a
finished product, but I do have some familiarity with the problem.

Unfortunately it was for a school research project and I don't know what
the ownership around it would be.  I can investigate if needed.
