On Win2K [w/TS enabled] and Win2K3 servers, as well as WinXP systems, I've
had my services monitor the Terminal Services events so that *any* session,
including the console, can be monitored for logon & logoff events.

There's also Winlogon Notification Packages that you can write that will
tell you about these sorts of events, too.
