Logout request? What would be the purpose of that? What are you going to
do, say no you can't logoff?

Perhaps you're looking only at the authentification side. Sounds like the
information you want is in the whole other side of the game, on the
accounting side. Authentification requests are made upon login. However,
an accounting start message is sent out when a user logs in, and then a
stop message is sent when the session terminates.
